Sometimes summer comes along and you realize you never really planned anything. Sound familiar? If you're like me, I usually stay in Tallahassee most of the summer because I work and take summer classes. Being in town while it is summer does not always mean it has to be boring. There's so many places you can go that are less than 3 hours away and still find a way to beat this summer heat. If you're looking for some things to do for the next six-ish weeks then look no further! Take a look at some of the ideas I have compiled.

Grab a snow cone from Big Easy at Lake Ella.

The Rez is free for all enrolled FSU students. There is a wide range of activities you can do like kayaking and obstacles courses, and the best part? It's Free!

Need to feel the sand in your toes? Head to St. George Island!

This is one of our popular beaches that is also nearby. You don't need to travel too far to get the tan you've been wanting. Grab your pals and gal-pals and make a beach trip!

Plan a trip to Wild Adventures.

This theme park is a little over an hour away and makes for a great trip if you're looking for thrills! Not only do they have roller coasters but they also have a water park with plenty of water slides to choose from.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
