Spring Is Officially Here In Ohio, And I Couldn't Be Happier

Spring is sprinting back into season.

Spring Is Officially Here In Ohio, And I Couldn't Be Happier
Sarah Cucco

If the erratic and unpredictable rainstorms did not warn you that the tempestuous spring is back in season, maybe the fluctuating temperatures from 50s-80s is a good sign. After a long winter, all I can say about spring returning is thank God! Spring is one of the best seasons because there is so much to do: farmers markets start popping up around town, fairs, outdoor concerts, hiking, rock climbing, and late night stargazing all come rushing back into season.

Moreover, outdoor sports are a must; the lukewarm temperature and cold breeze of spring create the perfect atmosphere for those who do not want to get too sweaty but still want that outdoor workout.

Spring is back! This means outdoor barbecues, spontaneous pool parties, bike rides, lemonade stands, and the sweet smell of rain that always lingers in Midwest air. It means hunting for flowers in the middle of the day or getting off of work late at night to go to a friend's movie-watching party.

In the spring, everyone seems to shed their winter funk and reopen themselves to the possibility of the world. The grocery market becomes a little friendlier, your neighbor's kids start playing outside again, and the sound of a dog barking becomes white noise. There is so much to love about spring that can be easy to forget due to the frequent downpours.

However, these also bring about staying in and having movie nights with pizza delivered, car rides to pick up popcorn and snacks, overly competitive board game tournaments or sitting in a big chair with a good book.

Take this spring to re-energize yourself and center your energy. Remember all the good things spring will bring as it relieves us all of a bitter cold winter season, and try not to let the constant rain get you down too much!

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.
