Now that many college students are starting to come back home for the summer, it's time to start merging into the lives we leave back home. I don't know about you, but facing three months of living at home after experiencing a year of independence is rather tough.

I feel restless and like there's nothing to do.

Here is a list of ways to overcome perpetual boredom that ensues when we're all back home again:

1. Create rockin' Spotify playlists for all occasions.

2. Plan a trip with your friends to the nearest city.

There could be pop-up shops, flea markets... see what's around!!

3. Re-arrange your room— it's fun to change things up!

Depending on your room and how much stuff you brought back from school, this could take you a while!

4. Paint, sketch, doodle— the works

Hitting up an arts store is actually so much fun. See what trinkets you find, buy paint, and have at it on a canvas!

5. Learn a new language!

Youtube does wonders...and so does Duolingo, a free language app!

6. Write letters to your future self.

Write letters to yourself for the day you graduate, for the day you get a job, for the day you get married, for the day you have kids, for the day you turn 21, etc... it's like a time capsule from you to you!

7. Raid your library.

There are so many good books out there...get to reading some!

8. Learn some fun cooking recipes!

Nothing beats enjoying an easy to cook, homemade meal.

9. Go on night drives with friends.

Blast music, talk, and just drive wherever. The night is yours!

10. Start scrap-booking!

There are so many photos on your phone. Go print them, buy fun paper, drink some wine, and have yourself a night of memories!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
