Swimming is a great way to exercise or cool off in the summer
Margaret Whittel

Swimming is an all around great sport many people do it for fun or they do it competitively. It is a great way to stay in shape or cool off on a summer day.

1. Swimmers always have at least five bathing suits because we have practice every day and normally people don't wear the same suit unless they really have to. (I did a few times).

2. We have multiple pairs of goggles and we all have our favorite kind. I prefer Speedo Vanquisher because they suction to your face better in my opinion.

3. You've had multiple swim caps break on you. They really hurt when they break especially when it's on your head, they are latex ones instead of silicone.

4. You have so many swim caps that you can't even count them all on one finger. Everyone gets one for my high school team and then we all have so many extras it's not even funny. I have seven or eight with my name on them from school.

5. Racing suits are hard to come by. Normally you find your two favorite kinds and stick with them. My favorites are TYR and Speedo. Your suit also has to be super tight if you want to go fast. Swim suits are the most important thing because there are so many kinds out there you just have to find your favorite brand.

Swimming is an all around fun sport that can be a bit stressful sometimes; but all in all, it is a very fun sport. It's something I personally love and hope that enthusiasts will enjoy and relish

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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:

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.
