It feels like the worst thing in the world when you're in college and have to wake up. What's even worse? Having to go to school when it's snowing outside. Let us have a snowy day off, please. Here a few valid reasons to cancel the next time.

1. Nobody knows how to drive when you're just trying to get to class.

It's like everyone forgets how to drive and goes 15 miles under the speed limit. Then, we get traffic and everyone is late to class and you already don't want to go.

2. It's even harder to get up for that early class because it's so dreary outside.

It still looks like nighttime... and it's cold. Obviously, I should go back to sleep then.

3. You swore they were going to cancel school, but instead they hit you with only a 2-hour delay so you're bummed.

But I even did that thing from when I was a kid like flush an ice cube down the toilet and wear my PJ's backward. Ugh.

4. You didn't do the homework or assignments from last night because you thought you wouldn't have school.

Well, crap. You can't even BS an assignment when you go to a university.

5. You made a plan of how your snow day was going to go.

Whether it was to stay inside where it's warm and just watch TV and drink hot cocoa or go outside with your friends. It's disappointing either way and ruins plans.

6. You're reminded by your younger siblings how much high school was canceled when it snowed and you just want to go back to the good ol' days.

Hey, our school-work is more difficult, we should be the ones getting the day off, not you.

7. You have to go scrap off any snow or ice on your car which might make you late to class.

You're in 7 layers trying to keep warm while you're taking snow off your car going to a class that you're not very amused with in the first place.

8. When you are late to class because of weather conditions, professors do not care about your well-being.

They may or may not take off points depending on your professor, your class, their syllabus, and how strict they are on attendance. It's nice to feel loved.

9. You could've used a day off, especially because everyone is getting sick this time of year.

It feels like you've won the Olympics if you don't get sick this time of year.

10. You pretty much just space out during class because of the weather. Then, the professor decides to call on you for an answer.

Let the odds be in your favor of answering the question correctly.

11. All you want at the end of a crappy day like this is to relax, but surprise, they assign you more homework.

Really?! You're going to make us go to class and have homework when all we want to do is relax, be lazy, and sleep. C'mon.

These are all common adult things we have to deal with when going to work. So, do us this favor, and give us one more snow day to feel like a kid again and have no work before we have to go out into the "real-world."

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.

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.
