Why Doesn't Summer Really Feel Like Summer?

Northern Michigan is at it again with the crazy weather. One day it's 75 degrees without a cloud in the sky, and the next three days are 55 and rainy. So far for me, this summer has been nothing but work and baseball games. My bank account is starting to show how much I've been working, but even on my days off, I do nothing.

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about not having school and being home. However, it would be nice to be on the lake for more than one day this summer. I have a summer bucket list that I want to complete, but the weather has to agree with me in order to start it.

I was looking forward to summer vacation all spring semester and now that it is here, I low-key want to be in East Lansing again to see my college friends and be back in my normal schedule. I think the most difficult thing about summer is the fact that I don't have a "normal" schedule like I do when I am away at school.

I hope this summer gets a little better. I have done a lot of thinking and reflecting this last month about my schoolwork and my personal life and I believe this time off has been beneficial- even if I am not as tan as I would like to be. Who knows what's going to happen in the next 10 weeks? I hope I get to spend time with my friends and family and also work hard so that I can treat myself this school 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.
