The Top 10 Best Summer Foods
Jacqueline Gorecki

We all know summertime brings around some of the best things––weather, vacations, no school, and of course one of the most important, the food! Certain foods just taste better in the summer. There is nothing like kicking back with your sandy-cheeked butt in the sand and a nice fat hoagie in your hand. Just in case anyone needs a reminder of what the best summer foods are, here's a list:

1. Watermelon

It's the ultimate summer dessert fruit. It's not a summer event without it. A reminder: as we all learned in a very important episode of Rugrats, never eat the black seeds or a watermelon will grow in your stomach.

2. Pickles

What is a summer sandwich without a side of pickle? The best crunchy treat ever.

3. Hot dogs and cheeseburgers

Some of the best words you can hear during the summer are "We're having a barbecue." You know you're going to be eating good. And when the cook asks "Do you want a hamburger or a hot dog?" We all know the correct answer is always "both!"

4. Ice pops

"Mom! Where are the kitchen scissors?"

5. Hoagies

Can you honestly look at this without your stomach growling? There is nothing like a big fat packed sandwich as you plant yourself in the sand for the whole day.

6. Peaches

We all know the feeling when you get that peach juice dribble down your chin but you don't even care because what you're eating is so amazing and refreshing.

7. Plums

These and peaches are the ultimate beach fruits. They really hit the spot, especially when you first bite into a plum and it's a dark purple on the inside!

8. Ice cream

If you are not eating ice cream at least twice a day during the summer you are doing it wrong.

9. Corn on the cob

Such a delicious meal, it's like it's not even a vegetable (especially when smothered in butter, as it should be)!

10. Fudgy Wudgy

It's like music to the ears when we hear the sound of the ice cream man making his way down the beach right to us. Even with the over-priced, melts-right-away ice cream pops, I wouldn't trade that for the world!!

Now, who's hungry?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
