We need a new groundhog because we got a lot more than just six weeks of winter.

11 Thoughts Pennsylvanians Are Having Right Now

If there was a blizzard yesterday and it's 70 degrees out today, you probably live in Pennsylvania. The weather forecasts have been all over the place lately, leaving those in the Keystone State happy, worried, or absolutely confused about the strange weather patterns starting off the month of March. For those who don't live in PA, here's what it's like to have record highs and freezing temperatures within the same week.

1. We skipped right over winter.

Compared to the winter a few years ago that gave us the blizzard for Halloween, this winter never showed up. One snowstorm that closed school down for one day? That's nothing! Everything melted in a few days anyway.

2. Let's open up all the windows and let that sunshine in!

Breathe in that fresh air and smell those flowers!

3. Time to put the scarves and gloves away!

No need for these anymore!

4. This isn't a good sign at all...

Even though these warm days seem like a nice surprise, some people are concerned about our planet, because let's be honest, it should still be below 50 degrees.

5. TORNADO!!!

6. Where's my umbrella?

Heavy rains have also made quite the appearance these past few days, accompanied with extremely high winds and good sized hail. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

7. Never mind, I need that scarf and those gloves again.

In Pennsylvania, a couple warm days doesn't mean you won't freeze tomorrow.

8. Swimsuit season? Already?!

No, no, no, don't worry. We still have a couple months until that actually happens, so you have time.

9. "Roads may be icy today. Drive with care."

Ice?! I was sweating in a t-shirt yesterday!

10. Close all the windows! We're turning on the heat!

So much for that fresh air, huh?

11. We need a new groundhog.

I have no idea what Phil was thinking this year. You should've quit while you were ahead, buddy.

So as you look at the forecast for the week and see record highs with a winter weather advisory and a severe thunderstorm warning, just remember that you're in Pennsylvania right now. Hopefully, by April, the weather will have figured itself out and we can go back to wearing the same type of clothing for a few days in a row. Until then, dress in layers, keep an umbrella handy, and don't forget to pack your gloves and winter hat!

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
