While it's one of the most hot spots on the east coast for summer vacations, the Outer Banks it's not just another tourist vacation attraction. Here are just a few of the options if you're looking to get away and enjoy this island...

1. The Wright Brothers Memorial

Kitty Hawk, NC is home to where Wright Brothers Wilbur and Orville took the very first flight in 1903. Walking along the path where they first took off and landed is a must-see sight if you're around the area.

2. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

Located farther south of the island, Hatteras and Ocracoke are getaway spots that are home to many must-see attractions, including the Hatteras Lighthouse. 257 stairs up, the view is incredible and a necessity if you're seeking adventure.

3. Currituck Beach

The farthest area north, Corolla and Currituck Beach are home to the famous wild horses everyone hears about. While they are somewhat shy, sometimes you can get close enough to pet them while enjoying the sand in your toes.

4. Roanoke Island

From the Lost Colony Theaters to the Elizabethian Gardens, Roanoke Island, south of Manteo, is full of exciting things to explore that are more suitable for an older audience who are seeking to embrace the culture.

5. Putt Putt Golf Courses

Saved the best for last, OBX is home to some of the most extravagant putt-putt courses I've ever seen. Pirate ships and Jurassic Parks are awaiting your putters!

Add Outer Banks, NC to your travel list I promise you will not regret it!

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.

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.
