We all have those goals for the summer. We want to travel a ton, and do things we've never done before. But sometimes, our extreme plans fall short when summer finally hits. Here is a list of things you can do when you're sitting around your house, not knowing what to do!

Enjoy!

1. Exercise.

This might not seem like the greatest thing, but believe me, working out this summer will have you feeling so much better. It will leave you feeling productive and happy.

2. Go Shopping.

Going shopping will definitely kill time, and even if you don't have the money to spend, going to the mall with your friends and trying on clothes is always a good time.

3. Find a new place in your town you've never been.

Sometimes, living in a town makes you think you know about every shop and restaurant. Who knows, though? Maybe you're missing out on the cutest boutique or the best food in town?

4. Go on a road trip.

Going on a road trip with a few friends to somewhere you've never been before is definitely going to be an adventure. So pack some snacks, turn the music up, and plug in an unknown destination to google maps.

5. Go to a coffee shop.

Getting a cup of coffee with your friends is always the perfect way to have a little fun.

6. Go thrifting.

Find the closest thrift shop and have at it. You can find the cutest and coolest things. Believe me, people will be asking where you got your stuff all the time!

7. See a movie.

So many movies come out in the summer. On the rainy days, or any day you feel like you have nothing to do, go see a movie!

8. Read a new book.

Reading might not be your cup of tea, but picking up a new book is always a good idea.

9. Find a recipe and make it.

Pinterest is a gold mine for great recipes. Find one that interests you and make it!!

10. Go to a concert.

Going to concerts in the summer is personally one of my favorite things to do! Go see your favorite artist, hang out with you friends, and make memories!

11. Go to the pool.

This might seem like an obvious one, but for the days you don't know what to do with, head to the pool, bring your headphones, a book, and swim laps. Either way, you'll have a great time and get your tan on!

12. Have a cookout with your friends.

Invite your friends over, grill up some burgers, and hang out. You can't go wrong with a cookout in the summer!

Have fun this summer, y'all!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
