The time has come to meet new people (in a safe way), so here are some safe and cute places to go on a date while here at school.

1. The Arboretum at Penn State

If you want a nice relaxing time to watch the sunset, the Arboretum is the perfect place to go. If you are a student on campus, then it is just a quick walk to the North side. Pull out a blanket and enjoy the nice weather while getting to know someone that may just be the one.

2. The TavernĀ 

Now this is a different pace than the first two locations. Instead of an evening outside, walk on over to the Tavern. The Tavern has great food, great service and is a great place to have some great conversation. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside, this is an easy way to have a great time with that special someone and in a safe way.

3. Old Main Lawn

Old Main is a similar destination to the Arboretum. If you want a nice relaxing time outside and don't feel like taking that extra walk, stop by at Old Main. There are also many other things to do at Old Main besides sitting on the grass, although that is a great thing to be doing. You can play some outside games, meet some friends or even walk a pet. If the outside is the place you want to be, I recommend Old Main 100%.

4. Pegula Ice Rink

Pegula skate rink is for those who are ready to get down and dirty on the ice. If you decide you want to have a little competition or show off your moves a bit, head on over to Pegula ice rink. Bundle up and skate along with others while also having a great time, showing off your skills could be a great ice breaker (wink wink). Also, if your not so great at skating, it just gives whoever your with a reason to hold on to you. I'm just here to help make sparks fly.

5. State College Borough. (College Ave)

Lastly, State College Borough. This is a great place to walk around and really choose your own destination based on how the night is going. If you want to go shopping, they have spots to go, if you want some great food, they have amazing restaurants (including the Tavern). You can have a great time looking at some of the lights on the restaurants and stores and also just have a stroll slightly off campus. Either way, this would be a fun location to go to.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
