5 'Must Do' Things In Delaware This Summer

Summer down in Delaware is definitely different than it is in Boston, but after spending two years here, I have figured out the best things to keep me happy when summer rolls around. If you're not familiar with some of the best things to do here in Delaware, then keep reading!!

1. Delaware Beaches

Whether you have a beach house or take day trips to the beach then you know there is nothing better better than spending the day getting all sandy and sunburned. Trust me you have many beaches to choose from! If you're looking for a quiet day then head on over to Lewes, if you're looking for a little more action then Rehobeth is the place for you! Cape Henelopen State Park happens to be my favorite but really you can't go wrong with any of them.

2. Lum's Pond State Park

My favorite thing to do at Lum's Pond is the Go APE! Go APE is 5 courses that involve climbing trees, and then zip lining to the next section. Each time you increase in height and you even zip line over the water! As long as you aren't afraid to get a little down and dirty, then I highly recommend this!!

3. UDairy

If you're an ice cream lover like me, then the University of Delaware's "UDairy" Creamery is THE place to get your ice cream this summer. From every unique flavor they have to the very basic flavors they have, you can't go wrong with a nice big cone to end a great day.

4. The Gardens

As soon as the weather starts to get nice you have to head on over to Longwood Gardens. Although LG isn't in Delaware, it is only a short half hour ride to it's location in Kennet Sq, PA. The beautiful flowers and blossoming trees are sure to put a smile on your face. Another fantastic place to visit is my mothers personal favorite, Winterthur! Winterthur is another incredible garden area as well as a library. Not only is it beautiful during the spring/summer, the Christmas views are to die for!! Definitely a must-do if you haven't yet.

5. Chesapeake City

Although Chesapeake City isn't in Delaware either, it is my favorite spot to grab a drink with a friend (whose 21) and eat some crab dip. THE best crab dip I have ever had. Located right on the Chesapeake river, the Chesapeake Inn is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. With the live music and great crowd, you are sure to have a great time!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
