Being the smoothie bowl enthusiast I am, I have gone ahead and ranked each of the smoothie bowl places in my area, New York City and Hoboken. One of my favorite things about living on the east coast for college is all the new foods I get to try! Growing up in the Midwestern region of the United States, I never got to try such a thing as smoothie bowls, nor had I even heard of them. They're now my favorite meal, hands down!

Playa Bowls - 10

This one was a no-brainer for me. Playa Bowls simply has the highest quality of bowls, with the highest quality of ingredients. Not to mention that their menu is not only limited to açaí bowls; they also serve pitaya-, coconut-, green-, and banana-based bowls! Quite honestly, nothing beats this place.

Acai Ya Later - 6

Although this place used to be one of my favorites, the last time I ordered from there, the fruit looked like something I could pour out of a can. In addition, there açaí is pre-scooped, which I understand boosts efficiency, but it simply does not taste as fresh. Nonetheless, they are very generous with the Nutella topping, which boosts it's score in my book!

So Bol - 5

I was so, so excited to try this place, for they advertised their bowls at $6.99, which is significantly cheaper than the average smoothie bowl place. Upon arriving at the place, however, I realized that if I want any toppings at all on my bowl, the price is hiked up to $10-$12 - overpriced af.

Shaka Bowls - 7

The atmosphere of Shaka Bowls is pretty casual and light and beachy, which I enjoyed, and the menu truly had something for everyone, not just smoothie bowls! The cutest, healthiest, little shop.

Vitality Bowls - 6

Although the name is quite appealing, I was not too impressed with this smoothie bowl place in particular. The portions were quite small, and the açaí was not as flavorful as I expected. Nonetheless, they offer a plethora of yummy and diverse toppings.

Sweetberry Bowls - 9

These people have simply mastered the art of açaí bowls. It's honestly a miracle to me that this place is not more popular/doesn't have more locations; I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here! The fruit is always super refreshing, and they are quite generous with the toppings, especially the granola, which I adore!

Acai Berry - 8

Although this place isn't as popular as the others, I knew I had to include it in this article. Although their menu is limited to only four açaí bowls, these bowls are packed with the most unique of toppings and fruits; some that I have yet to see anywhere else. The granola here is the best I've tasted, by far. I highly recommend!

The vibe and energy in these places is unlike any other, and they simply smell fresh and wholesome; they're in the category of superfood for a reason! Check these places out and grade them yourself! Plus, if you're telling me that your mouth isn't watering at least a little after looking at all those pictures, you're lying.

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.

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.
