13 Things To Do When Your WiFi Is Down

A couple of days ago, my home's WiFi stopped working. I didn't panic initially because normally I can fix it by unplugging and restarting the router. Unfortunately, that did not help at all. My mom called AT&T and they said the earliest a support service man could come fix it was 4 days later. We were both frustrated because "4 days was way too long."

This made me think about all the things I wasn't going to be able to do while at home this week. My phone's data was almost used up for the month so I couldn't even use my phone.

I was stuck.

Instead of freaking out, I decided that it wouldn't be so bad. I could spend my time doing other things like:

1. Read A Book

I'm a huge bookworm, so this is an easy one for me! Maybe even put up a hammock and read in it!

2. Paint Or Draw

I always forget how much fun it is to paint a canvas or doodle whatever I can think of.

3. Go For A Bike Ride

Since it is summer, the days are pretty nice weather-wise. I have a park nearby my house that I can ride my bike around and enjoy the outdoors.

4. Visit With Family

I am very close to my grandparents because they live right up the street from me. I frequently stop by to visit with them when I'm bored. They are always happy to see me.

5. Watch Live TV

Now, I know no WiFi means no Netflix... but you can still watch live TV. I've been watching "Friends" on TBS every day!

6. Bake A Dessert

Baking is an easy way to kill an hour or so. My favorite desserts to bake are brownies and chocolate chip cookies. Basic, I know.

7. Go Shopping With A Friend

Why not get out of the house and take a trip to the mall! That's what I did this week! Shopping is always a fun way to spend an afternoon.

8. Write A Short Story

I personally like to write, so this week I started on a new short story. If you have never tried this before, I recommend it! Use your creativity and write something unique!

9.Take A Bubble Bath

Everybody loves a bubble bath with bath bombs, right?

10. Walk Your Dog

My dog isn't really one who likes walks, but most dogs love them. So, this is a way to get outside and spend time with your pup!

11. Play Board Games

Playing board games with family is always super fun! Some of my favorites are LIFE, Yahtzee, and Balderdash!

12. Paint Your Nails

I love having my nails painted but never take the time to actually paint them. I figured since I had the time, I would. Now my nails look nice and freshly painted.

13. And If All Else Fails... Take A Nap

I am the QUEEN of naps. Napping is the easiest thing in the world for me to do and is a sure-fire way to kill time!

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.
