Must See Attractions of Costa Rica
Carly Sherman

About a year ago my family and I took a life changing trip to Costa Rica. This is a list of some of my favorite attractions and activities.

8. San Jose

The capital city of Costa Rica, San Jose is full of bright lights and beautiful parks. Our time in this city, while brief, was a splendid introduction to life and culture in Costa Rica.

7. Sarchi

Home of the world's largest painted ox cart, Sarchi is a splendid town with a lot of history. There is some spectacular scenery and gorgeous gardens in this quaint town.

6. Don Juan Coffee Tour

Ever wonder where your chocolate and coffee come from or how its made? The answer to all of your cacao related questions can be found at Don Juan's coffee farm in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

5. Arenal Volcano Hike

Do you have the desire to see an active volcano and some amazing wildlife? You can't do better than a quick hike around the base of the volcano.


4. Horseback Ride in La Fortuna

Want to get up close and personal with animals? There is no alternative to hopping on a horse and riding up the side of a volcano and through the surrounding forest. Experience the tranquility of Costa Rica.


3. Eco Termales (Hotsprings) in Monteverde

After a long day of hiking or horseback riding. Nothing is more refreshing than a long soak in a hot spring.


2. Zipline in Monteverde

1. Hanging Bridges in La Fortuna

While it may look daunting for those who are afraid of heights (like myself), the hanging bridges make for a memorable outing that provides some of the most beautiful and photograph-able scenery I have ever seen.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
