Too many people say Ohio is a boring state, but to me, you can find something new and exciting to do anywhere. Yes, there is always Cedar Point, but if you're looking to do something unique, check out these five Ohio landmarks to spice up your adventure game. (Even if it is only Ohio.)

1. Hocking Hills: Logan, OH

Hocking Hills is quite literally the camper's dream. This outdoor playground offers waterfalls, hiking trails and caves to explore. There are even wood cabins available to rent that are decently priced. If you're an outdoorsy person, this place is a must-see!

2. Franklin Park Conservatory: Columbus, OH

Featuring both outdoor and indoor gardens, the Franklin Park Conservatory is located right outside of Columbus, Ohio. General admission is fairly cheap ($10 with a student ID!), and you can experience plants local and foreign to our area. On top of the gardens, they also offer classes to adults such as gardening, tai chi, yoga and glass-blowing.

3. Waterloo District: Cleveland, OH

If you're into art, this is the town for you. Although it's a portion of the large city of Cleveland, the Waterloo District offers a "small town" feel with it's artsy local shops and it's amazingly intricate building artwork. They are constantly adding new, creative twists so you can keep coming back, and on top of that, they hold an art festival every summer! Don't miss out on the experiences this place offers.

4. Yellow Springs, OH

Best described as a hippy, free-spirited town, this is also an Ohio landmark that is sure to please anyone who loves art. With it's colorful storefronts and eclectic artwork, anyone who appreciates individuality will love what Yellow Springs has to offer. They also have a beautiful state park, including springs that are just a few miles away! Alongside Waterloo, Yellow Springs offers an art festival every summer.

5. Cuyahoga Valley National Park: Cleveland, OH

Cuyahoga National Park is a short distance from the Cleveland and Akron areas and offers biking trails, hiking trails and campgrounds. You can learn about Ohio's rich history at the Boston Store Visitor Center, and if you're into it, they even have a bed and breakfast on site. It's amazing the sights you can see right here in Ohio—it just takes a little bit of exploring!

Ohio is rich in adventure; it just takes some patience and research to find something worth seeing. Even though there are many places that are popular and well-known, there is always something new to be seen waiting around the corner. Who knows, maybe it's even in your backyard! Now get out there and explore.

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.
