13 Places You Have to See When visiting Michigan
Abigail Read

I was so blessed to be able to visit Michigan with my sister and our best friend. We had a friend in Michigan who was kind enough to let us stay for awhile. There are many places we didn't get to see, but the ones we did see were great! We were in Antrim Michigan and these place weren't too far from there,

1. The little town at Mackinac.

This is a big tourist attraction and a lot of people go there. They don't allow automobiles on the island (except for emergency vehicles) and everything has an old fashioned look and feel to it. It is a beautiful place. There is also the Grand hotel there - which was used during the filming of "Some Where In Time (The movie was kinda weird but the hotel is interesting). You have to get there by riding a ferry.

2. Mackinac Island landscape.

3. Stores and shops.

4. Arriving by ferry.

5. The Grand Hotel.

6. A dune at Sleeping bear dunes.

This might be my favorite, because the trails are so much fun to walk through. The name has an old tale behind it about a mother bear swimming across a Great Lake with her bear cubs who drown because it is too far for them to swim. So, according to the story they reappear as small Islands next to the land the mother bear swims to. The place has dunes to climb up and down with such nice views.

7. Lake Michigan.

9. Landscape at Sleeping Bear Dunes.

10. So many trees! Hartwick Pine State Park.

This is a lovely forest. It has trails to walk through and museums. It is a great place to learn about the wildlife in Michigan. Bring bug spray because it can get buggy near the marsh areas.

11. Going on the trails!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
