Winter is the death of us all.

The beautiful fall leaves are gone, and its time to whip out the winter jackets and gloves. With the coming of snow comes many different emotions and reactions but there's nothing we can do to keep the snow from coming.

If you're from Michigan, you can relate to these reactions with the winter months approaching:

1. "Where's my vacation home in Florida?"

Because snow isn't any fun unless you're five years old again. There isn't anything fun about driving in the snow, falling in the snow, or just being cold in general.

2. Saying prayers for those traveling in the snow.

The only thing on people's mind when you get into your vehicle is, "please let me get there alive." This video is of the 150 car pile up from January of last year, which I was reminded after the 30-40 pile up on I-75 the other day. Stay safe.

3. F*ck yeah! No mosquitoes!

Because that's literally the only thing great about winter.

4. Cringing when you look out the window in the morning before having to go to work.

5. Trying to find all the layers you possibly can before you leave the house.

6. When you take the first step outside.

FML FML FML FML FML FML. I got snow in my shoe.

7. When there's 7 feet of snow and they still won't cancel class.

I might die on my way to class but that's okay because at least I'll be educated when it happens!

8. When you only have to go outside for a little bit so you don't wear a coat.

9. "Can you shovel the driveway?"

10. But most of all, you try to tell yourself...

Because no matter how cold it gets or how much snow there is outside, work and school aren't going to magically disappear. Try to make the best of it and maybe your winter won't be so miserable.

Or try to move to the Carribean...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
