10 Things Winter Storm Jonas Taught Me

This article is coming at you live from my bedroom floor. It's been about 48 hours since I've taken a breath of fresh air or changed out of my pajamas. I've been running on Bagel Bites and Entenmann's Donuts. Cabin Fever has officially set in and I've forgotten that there's a world outside of my bedroom. Its safe to say that having all of this time to myself has taught me a few things.

Here is a comprehensive list of everything Winter Storm Jonas has taught me. Enjoy.


1. Meteorologists sometimes know what they're talking about.

For once, we actually did get 24 inches of snow. Way to go, Weather Channel.

2. Get creative with food.

Yes, you can make a pizza out of a waffle when you're that desperate. They don't want you to eat.

3. Travel in packs.

You're going to need someone to dig you out of whatever snow bank you fall into.

4. Shoveling is always as bad as it seems.

Period.

5. Get snowed in with the right people.

This will make or break your Snowmageddon experience, I promise.

6. "It's not that cold."

It's actually freezing and you'll catch pneumonia.

7. Cabin Fever is real.

Oh, so real.

8. The best parties happen during blizzards.

Go out. It's worth it. #college

9. Certain restaurants deliver.

If you offer to tip well enough, anything is possible.

10. Classes won't be canceled.

Do you go to a major university? Can you still not open your front door because there's too much snow on your porch? Well, no one cares. You're classes won't be cancelled because your school is heartless.

Thank you, Winter Storm Jonas, for showing us that there is no such thing as a mild winter. I probably won't be plowed out until The Year 3000.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
