Leading up to summer, everyone makes all of these big plans. We talk about how much money we're going to make, how fit we're going to get and how many amazing memories we're going to experience.

But when it actually comes down to it, it is too easy to have the "there's always tomorrow" mentality. Netflix shows become more addictive and everyone's beds seem to get more comfortable.

It is time to wake up, people. Summer has an expiration date!

Remember that friend you swore you would make dinner plans with but you just haven't gotten around to it? Call them.

Remember that gym membership you bought to help get your "summer body?" Use it.

Remember that weekend beach trip you've been meaning to take? Book it!

For the remainder of summer, I want to make sure I'm living my life to the fullest and achieving all of my goals. For me, July is a month full of travel. I'll be spending some time at Anna Maria Island, in London, Paris, and the Bahamas. I plan on making the most of each day and being present in each moment. Memories will be made, pictures will be taken and special little moments will be remembered.

Summer doesn't last forever so don't take it for granted! Days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months passing by. Before you know it, September is here and school, college football, and cooler weather start to consume everyone's lives. I challenge you, and myself, to not have another "should've, could've, would've" kind of summer. Here is your wake up call!

How do you plan on spending your second half of summer?

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
