11 Thoughts Pennsylvanians Are Having Right Now

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

11 Thoughts Pennsylvanians Are Having Right Now
ABC 7

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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
