10 Quotes From "Peanuts" For Those Dealing With Mid-Winter Stress
Charles Schultz

I've always had this idea that all the snow is supposed to leave on December 26th. Look outside y'all. It's halfway through January, everyone else has taken their decorations down, and the stupid pine trees still think it's Christmas. What's the point of having snow everywhere if it's not Christmas anymore??? Freaking January. For those dealing with mid-winter stress, I turn to Charles Schultz for insight.


1. The beginning of the day

Jan Term has this thing where we have the same class every single day of the week. What is this, grade school for college kids? We're not used to this.


2. The end of the day

If you're not saying this, your room-mate is.


3. When people tell you that winter days are "shorter"


4. A solution to scheduling conflicts

Some really smart person once said "Do not worry about tomorrow." So I have the solution. Worry about TODAY!


5. Why the system sets us up for disappointment

My textbooks don't even have answers in the back for regular questions. Math majors have it lucky.


6. When your aspirations are too ambitious

This comic strip can be read left-to-right OR right-to-left. It makes no difference.


7. The secret to life that the universe has been hiding from you this whole time!

Drown your sorrows with soda!


8. No, really. School DOES have real-life applications


9. What to say during a lull in the conversation

10. The life of your local RA

Just in case you've ever wondered what your RA thinks about at night...


Don't worry. You'll survive. [Thumbs up] [Contrived smile] [Blood spills out of ears] [Collapses on the floor].

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
