Repeating A Trip More Than Once Is Still A New Adventure

If you think you've seen it all, you haven't.

I recently took a trip with my family to a place I had been many times before. Upon telling people where I was going, a couple of them would say something like "You were just there — why go again?" I do see their point, but I also disagree. I think that to give a destination a second trip (or even multiple trips) is not only wise but also just as exciting. Doing so brings out a new sense of adventure.

One solid reason to revisit an old location is to see all the cool activities you missed. No matter how long you spend in one place, there is always more to be discovered. There are more restaurants to try, more shops to browse, more hidden treasures to find, more locals to meet — there's always something else. That's the best part of travel; to keep learning about the many, many wonders away from home — and that may take another visit.

Another perk of repeating a trip is making a new memory there. Maybe the first time you visited California, for example, was after you graduated high school. You go back four years later and you can see how drastically your life has changed. Despite the same geographical space, you are likely a very different person who has accomplished much more in that amount of time. This is a cool way to measure changes in your life that you may not have recognized before.

So maybe this summer you and your friends just can't think of a state to visit or a beach to lay on. Don't sweat it — just book the same vacation where you had the most fun, the hardest laughs, and all the magical moments. That way you're guaranteed a good time.

Happy traveling, no matter if it's somewhere new or somewhere familiar!

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.
