Miami is not an easy city and Florida is not an easy state. You don't just move here with your stuff from home and that's that. It takes many Target, Publix, and Dadeland Mall trips to adjust. So if you're coming to the University of Miami anytime soon, don't be surprised if you see a lot of these items.

1. An excessive amount of bathing suits


I'm guilty of this and trust me, it makes sense. We have pool parties every weekend plus a pool on campus. Just the five bathing suits you moved in with won't cut it.

2. A big umbrella

It rains all the time here. One minute it can be clear skies and the next minute it's pouring. I started the year bringing a small umbrella to class when I saw it was raining. Wrong. You need an umbrella constantly and it pours hard here. A small umbrella won't save your computer from water damage(trust me).

3. A Postmates account

Miami is one of the few cities that offers not only Postmates in general but a huge selection of restaurants and stores. Plus, I have yet to meet someone who likes the dining hall.

4. An Uber account

How else are you going to get to the Grove, Publix, brunch...anywhere?

5. Easy mac/cereal/microwaveable dinners

Again, the dining hall...

6. Multiple pairs of sunglasses

You'll need them every day and trust me you'll lose a pair or two at a frat pool party.

7. The best tailgate clothes

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.

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.
