10 Things You Must Do In NY During The Summer
Brianna Moran

Anyone else sick of the snow and just want summer to be here already? Yeah me too. There’s so much to do in New York during the summer. Here are summer bucket list things you have to do if you’re vacationing to New York or live in New York!

1. Visiting the Great Escape in Queensbury NY

Who doesn’t love a little amusement park fun? The Great Escape is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for a day full of fun. I’ve been going to the Great Escape since I was little and I always have fun no matter what age I am.

2. Going to Saratoga Race Track

Saratoga Race Track is probably my favorite place to go during the summer with my family. I love seeing the horses race. If you’ve never been to the track, I totally recommend it!

3. Visiting Lake George

Lake George is not only fun, but it’s also very historic. If you love history, this is the perfect place to visit during the summer. Don’t forget to go to a Fort William Henry Ghost Tour!

4. Visit Albany (The Capital Of NY!)

Go visit the Capital Region! There’s so much history in Albany and so many things to do. One of my favorites is going to The New York State Museum.

5. Go To Proctors Theatre in Schenectady, NY

Out of all of these, this is my favorite. Proctors Theatre is one of the most beautiful theatres that I have ever been to. From Broadway to Concerts, Proctors has it all!

6. Take a trip to the Big Apple

NYC literally has it all! You will not get bored in NYC! Catch a Broadway show at night and catch a Yankee game in the day!

7. Go to a SPAC Concert

What's a summer in NY without a SPAC Concert?!

8. Get Ice Cream at The Snowman in Troy, NY

If you're from upstate NY then you know that The Snowman is the best place to get Ice Cream during the summer!

9. Go to a Valley Cats Game in Troy, NY

Who doesn't love some baseball during the summer! If you ever visit Troy, NY over the summer you have to go to a Valley Cats game with the family and of course, stay for the fireworks at the end of the game!

10. Eat at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY

If you love chicken wings and pizza in the form of a log, then this place is the perfect family restaurant for the 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.

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.
