It's the wanderer's dream. Throw a dart at a map, book the trip and go. For creators Julien Solomita and Collin Duddy, that dream is a reality in their new original web series, "Last Minute Trips."

Solomita, a popular YouTuber with over one million subscribers, and Johnny Depp look-a-like, Duddy, have partnered through their production company Waffsicle to create the new series. Experienced vloggers (video-bloggers) and filmmakers, the duo brings a new creative perspective to the travel vlog. They bring their audience along for the ride through updates on YouTube, Twitter and Snapchat.

In Ep. 1, the two ended up in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

In a world overcome with schedules, timelines and guidelines, it's hard to imagine the creative freedom that comes with this opportunity. Could you imagine? On a Friday morning in Los Angeles, the two sat in front of a computer, threw the darts at a map and googled the potential locations. Later that night, they were in the Albuquerque, New Mexico airport, only to find their car rental booking kiosk was "out-of-order."

"I guess it wouldn't be a last minute trip if this didn't happen," Duddy said pointing to the kiosk.

The universe has a funny way of doing things, however, as "James at Avis" got the two into a brand new Ford Mustang for the same price as their planned Toyota Yaris.

That luck would set the tone for the rest of the episode, as they traveled across the New Mexico to the small town of Truth or Consequences in classic Duddy/Solomita style, stopping for epic drone shots and a cloud-filled timelapse or two.

Fast forward to the weekend of March 18, and the two are back at it again. This time, with a rented red camper van, newly framed map and more clearly contained potential area. The goal for Ep. 2 was to drive to the potential destination, to keep the time and budget more doable for the young production company.

To Utah, they go. Keep an eye out for Ep. 2 of "Last Minute Trips" on YouTube on the Waffsicle channel later this week. For fans of both creators, we can't wait to see where they go next.

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.
