Spend a Day on the Island of Capri

Capri is a wonderful island located off the south of Italy about a 45 minute boat ride from Naples. I had the opportunity to visit Capri over vacation last summer and really enjoyed the time I spent there. My day in Capri started with a boat ride around the island to look at the amazing landscape. The island is very rugged with cliffs that jut out to the sea and houses of the rich and famous sitting on top. The ocean was so blue and the day I happened to be there was the Fourth of July. Ironically one of the best Fourth of Julys that I've had was not spent in America.

There are two little towns on the island of Capri - Capri and Anacapri. I never went to Anacapri, but it's more low-key as it's on the other side of the island that is less inhabited. We took the cable car up to the top of the island where we walked around the narrow streets lined with expensive clothing shops. We walked up to a terrace that overlooked the sea and had a spectacular view. Capri is also a popular place for the production of perfumes and fragrances so there are many shop workers offering samples of the fragrances on the side of the streets. Being a very hot and sunny day on the island, it was nice to sit in the shade and sip on a lemon flavored slushy while watching the other tourists go by.

We wrapped our day up by enjoying the best caprese sandwich I've ever had and swimming in the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent on Capri and if you ever have the opportunity to go there, I would recommend it. I would also recommend checking out the other side of the island and Anacapri, which I was not able to visit.

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.

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.
