"Wait, where is that?" is the response I get from most people when I'm not in my hometown area and I tell them I live in San Ramon. I usually just say that I live an hour away from San Francisco, but then sometimes people ask for the specific town which I know they won't recognize. Nevertheless, I tell them I live in San Ramon with my best "you asked for it" face, and watch as their face goes from a confused look to one of sympathy that seems to say, "I don't know where your little town is and have never heard of it, but it sounds cool!" But, if anyone has ever wanted to visit San Ramon (because they realized it was on the map) or that lives in San Ramon and wants suggestions on what types of things there are to do around there, allow me to be your local activities director!

1. Start the morning off right at the local Starbucks

I recommend any of the shaken iced teas! Also, shout out to the amazing baristas who work there and have kindly allowed me to move in during the school semester.

2. Go for a shopping spree at the wonderful haven that is Target.

3. Go to the San Ramon Community Center and take part in one of the many art, dance and music classes they offer.

4. Eat lunch at the many restaurants (which display a variety of different cultural cuisines) that are located in different plaza's and marketplaces.

5. Walk off your lunch while taking a scenic and refreshing walk on the Iron Horse Trail.

6. Learn about the history of the town and the area/other towns around it by going to visit the Museum of the San Ramon Valley...wait, no...my bad, sorry that's in Danville.

7. Spend a nice evening going to see a movie at the local theater.

8. End your day with some well-deserved dessert- you can choose from either delicious fro-yo or ice cream!

And that, folks, concludes the activities list of all of the hot spots that San Ramon is known for and has to offer (this town is best known for its nightlife if you couldn't tell).

But in all honesty, I'm so grateful that I grew up in this town that gave me a safe, calm, and fun environment to live in and explore. Go San Ro!

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.

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.
