It's summertime and I know that usually means going to the beach and having your fun in the sun. But what if you don't want to go to the beach?

I personally am not that much of a beach person. I hate sand, I hate fish, I am terrified of the ocean. It's not the best idea for me. So I have always loved vacations that don't involve the beach at all.

I usually have a hard time coming up with vacations that aren't the beach so I figured I would try it now and help out the people like me.


1. Road Trip!

Who doesn't love loading up their car and driving to their destination and taking in all of the pit stops and sights along the way?

2. Camping

Get yourself a couple of tents and some camping gear. Gather your crew and enjoy time in nature enjoying the world around you.

3. National Parks

Go see the beauty that our country has to offer us! I personally would LOVE to go to Yellow Stone!

4. Go abroad!

5. Washington D.C.

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.

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.
