When summer comes around, you look forward to spending as much time outside as you can. Growing up, we always started making dinner on the grill and eating out on the porch once it got warm out. Grilled food, sugary drinks and sweet treats for later are what make summer dining that much more enjoyable.

1. White Strawberry Lemon Sangria

First starting with some drinks when summer comes around you can mix up some Sangria. This drink is perfect for summer, as it is inspired by strawberry lemonade. Refreshing and sweet that includes a buzz.

2. Raspberry Mojito Punch

These mojitos are a mix of raspberry, lime and mint. Mojitos are a great pairing with any Mexican or Cuban inspired cuisine.

3. Summer Salad

This salad that includes fresh fruit and vibrant greens will help you get into shape for your summer body and will reward your taste buds.

4. Tomato, Cucumber, Avocado Salad

A twist on the well known caprese salad, here is a mix of diced cucumber, tomato, avocado and mozzarella to add as a side or main dish.

5. Summer Roll

When you're feeling a kick for some Asian inspired food, try these summer rolls that are packed with lots of vegetables and flavors.

6. Salmon Skewer

Seafood in the summer is one of my favorite memories from the weeks spent at the shore with my family. As a kid, I always enjoyed eating off kabobs, and now I realize they make cooking ten times easier.

7. Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki Bowl

One of the fresh fruits in the summer is pineapple. Here pineapple is incorporated into the meal to add a Hawaiian flare.

8. Grilled Shrimp Tacos

Shrimp is another fresh summer seafood that is easy to throw on the grill to create these delicious tacos.

9. Zucchini Noodles and Creamy Avocado Pesto

From the inspiration of a creamy pasta dish this is a healthy and easy dish to make, zucchini pasta in an avocado pesto to give you great taste without the guilt.

10. Watermelon Push Pops

Inspired by the childhood memory of push pops from the ice cream man, here are some push pops made from real watermelon and kiwi.

11. Grilled Peaches

There is nothing like enjoying a juicy peach on a summer day. Try grilling a peach and adding a scoop of ice cream as a new dessert.

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.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
