If you're like me and didn't want to shell out half your bank account to visit Ireland for St. Patrick's Day, then you're probably still looking for something festive to do. Have no fear, there's still plenty to do in London. Here are a few things at the top of my list.

The Parade

Follow the massive St. Patrick's Day parade from Picadilly to Trafalgar Square to start off your Sunday. This is certainly not for someone looking for a quieter weekend as the parade had around 125,000 guests last year. Get ready for some great music and performances along the way.

Festival in Trafalgar Square

Continue the fun March 18th and be sure to make your way to Trafalgar Square to see some amazing Irish performances. Be sure to make your way over to the market afterward for food, crafts stalls and family-friendly activities.

Free History Walks

If you aren't one for big crowds, a history walk might be more up your alley. Tony O'Donnell will be guiding free walking tours of Trafalgar Square, just be sure to RSVP before you go.

Mr. Foggs Event

Mr Fogg's Tavern is also hosting a St. Patrick's Day event. For a more lowkey night, RSVP to enjoy a night of Irish Whiskey and Irish cuisine.

Guinness Brunch

Not only does St. Patrick's Day fall on a Saturday this year, but it also falls on the final Six Nations game of England v. Ireland. Queen Adelaide has teamed up with Guinness to throw an awesome St. Patty's day brunch. Pair a Guinness with their traditional English brunch menu to start your morning off right

Pop Brixton Party

Pop Brixton is hosting an event for anyone looking to dance the night away. Put on your favorite green dress for a night filled with Guinness and Irish music.

Camden Market

Camden Market always turns green for London's St Patrick's Day Festival. The market will be bustling with live Irish music, arts and crafts and a screening of the last of the Six Nations game. Not to mention all the amazing food always available.

You better get on it, St. Patrick's Day is only a few short days away. Be sure to make all your bookings now so you can be sure to enjoy your weekend. Happy St. Patty's Day!

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.

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.
