Help me I'm cold.

11 Thoughts When Walking To Class In The Winter

I have a strong distaste for all things related to winter. Temperatures below 50 degrees are unsettling and displeasing to me. I do not like to be cold, nor do I like the snow. I can tolerate a few seasonal flurries, but unless I get a snow day, I really see no point to the white nonsense. Unfortunately, I live in an area of the world where winters are inevitable, even when they are postponed because of bizarre, unseasonably warm weather. Walking to class in the winter, I question my sanity and college of choice every few steps. Here are 11 thoughts I have when walking to class.

1. Why didn’t I go to school in the south?

I would take sunburn over windburn any day of the year. Plus, sundresses and shorts take up less space in my closet than sweaters.

2. I can’t see anything.

My watery eyes prohibit me from knowing if I am still walking towards my intended destination, or if I have strayed off course entirely. Don’t mind the tears streaming down my face, clearly I should have worn goggles.

3. If it’s this cold, shouldn’t it be snowing?

If I have to endure below freezing weather, then I would at least like a snow day or 10. The best part about winter is not having to deal with winter.

4. This summer, I’m never going inside.

I don’t even remember what the sun looks like.

5. My nose is tingling... why is my nose tingling?

Also, the shade of red my nose tends to turn in the cold has me resembling Rudolph more often than not these days.

6. I need to look into studying abroad.

Any place that has indefinitely warm weather will make the list. If I have to pack a coat, then I am not interested in going to school there.

7. Clearly I don’t understand global warming.

I thought I would have a little longer to bask in the mild winter we were experiencing. Remember when it was 70 degrees on Christmas?

8. Online Classes. That’s the dream.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. I don’t really want to socialize if it means I’d have to be cold for any given amount of time.

9. I hate how often “I Can’t Feel My Face,” gets stuck in my head.

The song is so relevant to my predicament of being numbingly cold, but I think it’s making me go insane.

10. Why are people stopping to chat?

You want to chat? We can chat. Pick a building, any heated building.

11. This class better change my life.

Red nosed, teary eyed, and more than a little sad about having to change out of my pajamas, I am anticipating a lesson that will counteract the struggle it took for me to get to this class. A little appreciation for the fact I put in the effort to come at all is just a nice gesture.

The winter months seem endless to me, which is probably why I enjoy the warmer months of the year all the more. I realize that there are a multitude of positive things about the winter. I can not think of any, but I know other people could list a few notable favorite of the season. I prefer winter in photographs and, sometimes, in theory. In reality, though, I would choose sand over snow, wake boarding over snowboarding, and piña coladas over hot chocolate every time.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
