Summer Hasn't Begun Until...

Ah, and just like that, summer is upon us. Summer brings us so many experiences that just aren’t quite the same during any other time of the year. For some, summer even brings an indescribable, joyous feeling, kind of like Christmas. Sunshine is endless, the warm breeze smells like…well, summer, toes are covered in sand, skin gets darker, and smoothies are a staple for keeping cool. But summer hasn’t really begun until…

1. The first watermelon has been cut


Watermelon always tastes better than I remember it. Maybe because it brings back so many summer memories!

2. The temperature has reached at least 90 degrees

Three cheers for over 100 degree days in the south!

3. Your seatbelt has burned you

The ultimate betrayer.

4. You’ve taken a plunge in a pool

There is nothing like the first swim of the summer!

5. You’ve eaten a snow cone or popsicle

Snow-cone stands are the place to be in the summertime.

6. You’ve gotten sunburnt


Maybe, one too many times...SPF 100 anyone? JK anything over 50 is a hoax.

7. The sidewalk is no longer acceptable for your bare feet

This is a huge lose. Like, what is summer without bare feet?

8. You’ve had a mini heart attack from thinking you forgot to do homework

But seriously, this one is real for a long time after summer begins.

9. You’ve sung…“WHAT TIME IS IT?!”

At least once, right?

10. You’ve had a glass of homemade lemonade

For those over-100-degree days.

11. You’ve slept in more than once in a week

Or maybe every day?

12. You’ve had a backyard barbecue

Spending time with friends and family is one of my favorite things to do any time of the year. Plus, when there is food involved? BONUS.

13. You’ve watched more TV than seems humanly possible

Sadly, this is too many of us.

14. Sunnies have become your everyday accessory

Cute and necessary!

15. You’ve eaten campfire s’mores

You can never have too many s'mores. They are practically heaven on earth.

Whatever your summer looks like for you, I think we can all agree that summer brings so many genuine moments that you will cherish forever. Happy 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.

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.

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.
