So this is for all of you who love hiking or want to get started. I have here a self- designed list of the top 10 hikes that New England offers and none of them are biased, I just have done some personal and online research to reach these conclusions.

Hopefully, all of you can enjoy at least a few of these mountains this summer:

1.) Camel's Hump

First on the list is Camel's Hump!

Camel's Hump is located in Duxbury and Huntington Vermont and reaches 4,081 feet in height. Camel's Hump is known to be a relatively hard mountain to climb. However, it is a very popular climb in Vermont, mostly due to it's location near the resort town of Stowe, Vermont. Also, the unique shape of the peak that provides the name of the mountain, results in the popularity of Camel's Hump.

Another Vermont peak that makes the list is

2.) Dorset Mountain

This mountain is not as famous or as large as Camel's Hump, but it offers a set of stunning views on "Dorset Peak".

This mountain is located in Danby, Vermont with a total of 3,760 feet.

3.) Mt. Chocorua

Now in New Hampshire, the heart of the White Mountains and the Presidential range sits Mt. Chocorua

Mt. Chocorua sits at just about 3,748 feet but what it lacks in feet makes up for in views.

4.) Mt. Osceola

Mt. Osceola is another mountain in New Hampshire that reaches about 4,314 feet and is located in the White Mountain National Forest.

Mt. Osceola may not be the most popular mountain in New Hampshire, but it does not disappoint.

5.) Mount Katahdin

Now in Maine, Mount Katahdin is the highest peak in the state standing at 5,267 feet in the Appalachian Mountain Range.

Mount Katahdin is the vocal point for Baxter State Park.

6.) Saddleback Mountain

Saddleback Mountain is another mountain in Maine located in Franklin County, near the town of Rangeley.

Fun Fact: Saddleback Mountain is also a ski area!

7.) Ragged Mountain

Now in New England the bigger mountains are in the Northern states, but Connecticut can still offer some mountain thrills, especially for rock climbers on Ragged Mountain's traprock mountain ridge that stands at 762 feet and is a popular place for rock climbers.

Ragged Mountain is also a ski resort!

We are going to skip one state in New England and that is Rhode Island because they have hills rather then mountains.

8.) Mount Greylock

However in Massachussetts there is Mount Greylock. Mount Greylock is 3,491 feet and is the highest natural point in the state.

Mount Greylock is located in the beautiful Berkshire region.

9.) Blue Hills

This selection is rather a nature walk then a mountain, but it does incline and reach a view that overlooks Boston.

This would be a great start for beginner hikers!

10.) Mt. Washington

This is the mother of all mountains in New England and deserves to be on every top 10 hikes of New England list. This monster stands at 6,289 feet and is the highest peak in the Northeastern part of the United States. Located in Sargent's Purchase, New Hampshire.

On top their is an observatory!

Thank you for indulging in my favorite hikes and I hope that all of you will love these trails this summer and years to come.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
