Ah, summer. The time of many great things, lounging poolside, warm weather, and of course no school. However, as great as summer is, there is one major downside all those pesky bugs that won't stop biting you! If you're like me, you seem to be a homing beacon for every sort of blood-sucking insect you can think of leaving you itching and miserable. There are many different remedies that one can try, but one stands out amongst the rest… lavender oil!

Lavender oil is almost magic when applied to mosquito bites. I'm allergic to those bites, and so mine don't just itch, they hurt. Sure baking soda paste or clear nail polish stop the itching, but not the pain. That's where the lavender oil comes in. Apply the oil directly to the bite for instant relief of both itching and pain from bug bites! Have so many bites you don't want to apply oil everywhere to? Simple! Just run a bath and add in a good bit of lavender oil and mix it up. Viola! Instant relief for all those horrible bug bites. Now go forth and enjoy your summer itch-free!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
