7 Ways To Make The Most Of Your 2020 Winter If You Live In The Poconos
Blue Mountain Resort

The fall and winter time in the Poconos is a beautiful thing everyone should experience. The mountains provide a breathtaking view and the fall colors can enlighten the spirit of even the worst case of the winter blues. The activities that are available in the Poconos range from fun for the kids as well as the parents.

1. Skiing, Snowboarding, or Snow tubing

Not everyone is down to hit the slopes, and that's why I included snow tubing. Skiing and snowboarding are fun to learn and I recommend trying at least one- who knows, you might find a new hobby! There are plenty of places to do any of these- including my favorite, Blue Mountain.

2. Indoor Water Parks

Indoor water parks are a fun time for the whole family. At Camelback resort, the indoor water park is great for the whole family because it includes many fun rides and places for the kids to play and a bar for the adults to relax at. They also have a large hot tub that is half indoors and half outdoors!

3. Ice Skating

If you're looking for something to do with your significant other- ice skating is a great idea! If you're a beginner, you'll have to rely on your partner to catch you when you fall! Tobyhanna State Park is a great place to ice skate.

4. Paintball

If you're up for some challenges- Skirmish Paintball offers a fun time in the snow! Put on some extra cushioning for the snow and paint balls!

5. Roller skating

Roller skating is a great way to be active, listen to some good tunes and have fun! Whether you're with a group or partner, roller skating can be enjoyable whenever and with whoever. Big Wheel is a popular roller skating rink in the Stroudsburg area.

6. A Trip Back in Time At Quiet Valley

Quiet Valley is a fun and educational trip for everyone. The actors at the living historical farm dress and act like colonial people and teach the visors what life was like back in the day.

7. Indoor Go-Karts

Indoor Go-karting at S&S Speedway is the way to go if you're bored on a weekend night! All family members can get a kick out of racing and then the video arcade and pool tables are an added bonus!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
