Sometimes, it's just too hot to cook, turn on the stove, or even be a productive human. To help you out, here are ten recipes that require minimal to no cooking, but are still certifiably delicious. Even better, these recipes are all vegetarian!

1. Gazpacho

Green Gazpacho is beautiful chilled Spanish soup made with cucumbers and other fresh produce. All you need is your blender!

2. Hummus

Hummus is a delicious immune-boosting snack. But, it can also be used in sandwiches, salads, or bowls. Hummus is also very versatile so you can mix it up with some garlic or roasted red peppers!

3. Tabouli

Salads are a great way to beat the heat when the heat waves hit. Tabouli is light but filling Mediterranean salad that is really easy to make! I sometimes substitute quinoa for bulgar and prepare large batches of the grain ahead of time, so I don't have to turn on the stove when I want to eat.

4. Chickpea Salad

Chickpea salads take almost no time to prepare, even less time time to eat, but keep you full for a long time.

5. Overnight Oats

You didn't think I forgot about breakfast, did you? This is technically more than one recipe, but overnight oats are really easy to experiment with, so you don't feel like you're eating the same thing every day.

6. Green smoothie

Green smoothies are a great way to start your morning! They literally take minutes to make!!

7. Burrito Bowl

Burrito bowls offer familiar but delicious flavors!

8. Veggie Sandwich

This veggie sandwich perfectly blends the best flavors!

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.
