Even with the lovely, warm weather that hit us this weekend, we still don't seem to realize that spring is sneaking up on us quicker than we think.

This brings us to the question of Spring Break--and where to go. What adventures will you have? What memories will you make? Here are seven solid ideas to get your gears grinding.

1. Rockin' Road Trip

If you're a sucker for jamming to music and seeing changing landscapes with your best friend, (or whoever is going on this road trip with you) then this is the plan for you. There's nothing like spontaneous adventures that can literally take you anywhere; you simply follow your own path. (or highway) You can map out a loop to take, or just play it by ear. Anything works.

2. West Coast is the Best Coast

Take it from me: there is so much to see on the west coast. Major cities include San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, and more. The weather is superb, and the views are breathtaking. Just in San Francisco alone, you can see the Bay Area, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and countless other iconic attractions.

3. College Campus Tours

If you're the Type A person who likes to get things done, utilizing Spring Break to look at colleges is a perfect idea. Whether you're looking local or flying farther, this is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons and get an idea of where you might want to go for college. To look at campus life in action is to efficiently weigh pros and cons of potential choices.

4. Venturing With Volunteers

There are so many volunteering opportunities and trips out there; pick one you like--for a purpose you believe in and want to support, and just go. Whether you are building homes, helping at a local animal shelter, or cleaning up litter along the highway, you are giving your time up to help others. I promise you--this will be one of the best feelings in your life.

5. Foreign Friends

If you have the means to, travel out of the country! Every country has such a rich and unique culture that going anywhere could mean worlds of people and history. You will not be disappointed with all the choices you have to choose from. And not to mention--authentic ethnic food is the best!

6. One With the Wilderness

Mother Nature is calling your name! Take a hike, camping trip, or just sit outside and enjoy nature. Listen to the sounds of birds and critters, consider the wildflowers, and admire the green. Your body will jump with joy at the fresh air, and nothing helps relieve stress than being in nature.

7. Kick Back and Relax--Staycation

Even if you aren't traveling anywhere, you can still have the time of your life! Sleep in, wear pajamas all day, and whip up some home cooked meals. Try a new recipe, paint some flower pots, or be a home body. The coziness of your own home is enough to make a splendid Spring Break.

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.

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.
