5 Summer Bests
Emily Kaye

It has been one full week of summer and I have done absolutely nothing. This may be due to the fact that none of my friends are home or that it has been raining nonstop for days on end, but I really think it has to do with the exhaustion of finals. We work so hard studying that we lose sleep, our well being, and most of our sanity. Now that I have caught up on rest, there are a few aspects of summer that I am so excited to enjoy.

1. The sunshine

Whether this be by hiking, laying by the pool, going to the beach, or having a picnic, there is nothing like soaking up some Vitamin D.

2. The traveling

Each summer my high school friends and I like to travel to a new place in order to explore a different part of California's beauty. In the past we have gone to Newport Beach, San Luis Obispo, and Yosemite, and I can't wait to see what this summer holds!

3. The food

All of my favorite restaurants that I am not able to get at school are available for the entire summer. My friends and I have our favorite Italian restaurant, bagel place, sandwich shop, and ice cream place so I can't wait to indulge!

4. The freedom

In the summer, besides my part-time internship, I have the freedom to hop in my car and do whatever I want. I am not taking classes, so I have so much more time to explore and hang out with the people I love.

5. The friends and family

I think the best part of all of these things are that I get to spend so much time with the people I love and don't get to see the majority of the year!

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.

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.
