Summer means the start of bonfires and barbecue season, sitting poolside and blasting music— some things just never get old. I'm craving just a little bit of heat to escape from this cold spring and stressful last month of college, and frankly who isn't?

1. You can walk outside without three layers of warmth underneath


Having to dress for the weather outside and then undressing so you don't pass out in your class inside— Yeah, I'm over it.

2. No more deadlines, no more assignments

Unless you're taking summer classes like me, you're free from the throngs of education for another solid three months.

3. Nothing is better in this world than a fresh tan

I'm so pale that I'm transparent, so naturally, I feel glowing and healthy with a bit of color

4. Corn and burgers taste better at summer cookouts

It's some kind of sorcery, it has to be.

5. The ocean is calling

Sand and saltwater are the cure for any problem. Your man left you? The ocean. Did you fail your last final? The ocean. Having a mental breakdown? The ocean.

6. Seasonal shops and local businesses are 10x cuter in the summer


Support small businesses! Your conscience is happy because you kept your $ in the community too!

7. Two words: Outdoor concerts


Life is good when you can score lawn seats at $40 a pop

8. GymBod ready or not, you can't wait for swimsuits

I wanted my cake and I ate it too, sue me.

9. Summer hits make any playlist a banger

I'm not sure why everything sounds better in the summer, it just does.

10. Longer days = more opportunities

Daylight Savings Time, who?

12. Fair food is a religion

Your arteries may not thank you, but your soul and your taste buds will.

13. Driving with the windows down


There's just something about blasting music with the sun-soaked breeze hitting your skin

14. Freckles

THEY'RE SO CUTE. Be proud of your freckles, they add life and personality to your soul. Think of them as kisses from the sun (just ignore all the UVA/UVB radiation from the sun, LOL).

15. Endorphins

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing— The sun actually makes us happy! Nothing gets the endorphins and serotonin flowing like a true American summer.

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.

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.
