These 7 Destinations In Wisconsin Will Make You Wish For Spring To Come Even Faster
Loui Wenig

Spring is coming! Hopefully. The temperatures have been a little chilly lately but in a month or so it'll be warmer out so that Wisconsinites can finally do something fun outdoors. These seven activities and destinations will make you want to get outside in the fresh weather and prepare for spring.

1. Hurts Donuts

Hurts Donut Company is located in Middleton, Wisconsin. This place is truly one of the best donut places I've been to. Every summer, one of my friends and I drive the hour and a half just to get donuts from there. Trust me, it's totally worth it. They're open 24/7 so if you live in Madison or Middleton it's the perfect place for a donut stop when you're up at one a.m.!

2. Hiking, camping and swimming at Devil's Lake

I've never been much of a camper but I really appreciate the scenery and campsites at Devil's Lake and surrounding areas. The view is beautiful when hiking and you reach an open spot looking over the lake. The bluffs aren't a super challenging hike either so if you're a beginner hiker or like easier trails then I would definitely recommend Devil's Lake.

3. Camping

Camping is a really fun time when you're at the right spot. Wisconsin has some beautiful destinations like Devil's Lake as mentioned above, Mirror Lake campsites, and I hear Musky Lake is a good place to camp too. It's not expensive either to tent camp which I like better than camping in campers.

4. The Apostle Islands

I've never been to the Apostle Islands but I hear it's a good place to go. There's so much to do on the group of 22 islands. There's hiking, camping, kayaking, boating and there are even guided activities. They also have caves that you can see in the winter because Lake Superior is frozen in those parts during the winter.

5. Washington Island

The first time I went to Washington Island I was in middle school and we went on a family trip there in the fall. There's mostly bed and breakfasts' on Washington Island which are very nice. The second time I was there was when we played their high school in a basketball game. The ferry ride was freezing but it was a lot of fun. It's a good place to go for a weekend to get away from your everyday life and have some fun.

6. Milwaukee Brewers baseball game

Brewer games are always a good place to be, especially after last season. Miller Park is going to be getting a lot of traffic this summer with original, loyal and new fans.

7. Kettle Moraine State Forest

There are some beautiful hiking trails in the Kettle Moraine. I went hiking there a lot last summer and there's always new trails to find. There are campsites you can reserve and boating and fishing, too.

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.
