Western America may have the Rockies but the Southeast has the Appalachians, Blue Ridge, and Cohutta.

1. Cloudland Canyon State ParkĀ 

Cloudland Canyon State Park is truly up in the clouds. This site offers various levels of trails from easy to hard. The West Rim Loop Trail is one of the most used trails. Rounding out near 5 miles the trail gives a wooded forest experience and miles of views off the many overlooks.

2. Tallulah Gorge State Park

Tallulah Gorge State Park is home to Tallulah Falls. Right outside the border of South Carolina, Tallulah Gorge State Park is family friendly and offers year round activities. The stairs are strenuous, but the views are worth it.

3. Fort Mountain State Park

Fort Mountain State Park has an activity area for everyone from horseback riding trails, biking trails, miniature golf, and so much more. Exploring this area you'll see the legend of the Moon People, and the rock wall. This park offers 70 seasonal camping sites, and access to a 17-acre-lake.

4. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is not actually counted as a state park but it is a hot spot for all the outdoors people. This park was once the site of a 14 day bloody Civil War battle. Kennesaw Mountain has a secondary mountain beside it called Little Kennesaw, this site has an overlook that can be driven up to.

5. James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park

James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park is lies between Summerville and Lyerly, Georgia. There are 5 miles of trails available to the public, along with other activities such as fishing and geocaching. The real prize is at the end of the "Marble Mine Trail" where an old mine is located.

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.

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.
