Summer is coming, so that means it's also time for yard sales! This is probably the best time of the year. We all love a good deal. But some people are skeptical and don't really want to go to yard sales because they are afraid they might waste a few hours of their lives looking at junk. But this just isn't true. Here are some very common and very great things to look for at yard sales this summer.

1. Records

You can find some really great records at yard sales for super cheap. You might have to dig through sometimes, but it can be worth it.

2. Furniture

Furniture can be really expensive. If you are looking for some different furniture, yard sales are a great place to look. You can find some already decent pieces of furniture or you can even decide to get crafty and paint some of the furniture yourself.

3. Clothes

You can find some really nice clothes at yard sales for ridiculously cheap. I would highly recommend at least browsing through the clothes at every yard sale you go to because yard sales are the cheapest place you will ever find clothes.

4. Coffee mugs

If you are like me and just like buying coffee mugs, yard sales can sometimes have some really interesting ones. You can find really unique coffee mugs that not many people have. Just make sure you wash them.

5. Movies

I absolutely love buying movies at yard sales. There are obviously a ton of movies on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, but there are still some things missing. Yard sales are the best for those missing movies.\

6. Books

People often buy books, read them once, and then they're done. So people are always selling all sorts of books. If you enjoy reading, I promise that if you go out for a day of yard sales you will end the day with a few good reads.

7. Jewelry

Jewelry is another things people are always selling at yard sales. Some people sell more expensive jewelry and still want more money for it, but then there are people who sell everything for less than a dollar. Jewelry can be really pricey when you are buying it brand new so yard sales are a great alternative.

Honestly, you can find basically everything at yard sales, I just shared some of what I think are the best things to search for when you maybe aren't the biggest fan. Just spend a couple weekends this summer going to yard sales because you are bound to end those days with a few things you will be glad you bought. Usually.

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.
