Spring Activities That We All Can't Wait For

Hello everybody! Guess what? Spring is finally here! That's right. The snow is finally melting. The birds are finally chirping. Those randomly large bugs that walk on my window screen are finally back as well! Especially coming out of a dragging winter (@that stupid March snowstorm), Spring is a wonderful time of the year in Upstate New York. Here's a list of some activities that I'm really looking forward to this year in Oneonta:

1) Becoming a college brochure

Everybody in Oneonta loves the Spring because we can finally come out of the caves we call dorm rooms and apartments! The campus is full of students playing catch or can jam, or just chilling out in a hammock or something. The vibes are all around great, and I'm definitely looking forward to catching a frisbee at some point in the near future.

2) Homework and chill by the Hunt Union pond

So homework/studying is not the most fun you can have in the spring. But one of my favorite images I have of college is everyone hanging out by the Hunt Union pond on the first exceedingly warm day of spring. People bring their laptops, get some Starbucks iced coffee, and enjoy the warmth that we missed so much.

3) Going out to the bars without having anxiety about potentially losing your jacket

Once the temperature gets high enough toward the end of April, bringing your coat to the bars will become a thing of the past. Being someone who has lost their jacket at a bar before, I am especially looking forward to this.

4) Exploring the forrest

Another one of my favorite college memories was when a bunch of my friends and I went to hang out in the park on an 80 degree April day. We ended up walking up a path through the forrest that I never knew about, and eventually ended up near a stream, where we opened a bottle of champagne. Though I got the worst sunburn of my life that day, it was a very picturesque scenario, and one of my favorite days of college.

5) Grillside Commons

I failed to do this in the fall, but in the spring I will be sure to check this off my bucket list. On a nice day, I am going to use the grills at Hillside (my apartment complex), and have a big barbecue with my friends. There's no better way to kick off spring than with a classic barbecue.

6) Oh Fest and the preceding dage

Weather dependent, I'm definitely looking forward to the day festivities of Oh Fest, which normally include a nice day drink. Hopefully, my last semester of college brings on a killer spring.

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:

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.
