The First Few Weeks Of The Semester,

We're all a little like Patrick.

Feb 02, 2016

With the spring semester here and underway, I'm sure "excited" isn't any student's first-word choice to describe coming back from winter break. We can all relate to Patrick as he perfectly captures the struggle of being a college student:

1. When you get a homework assignment the 1st week back.

2. Your first trip to the dining hall this semester.

3. When you sneak some food from the dining hall.

4. When the class you wanted filled up, so you had to take a 9 a.m. instead.

5. What it feels like when you're actually in your 9 a.m. class.

6. When you hit up the first party of the spring semester.

7. When you have work to do, but you're still used to binging Netflix.

8. When you you and your BFF somehow end up in the same lecture.

9. When you try to look nice for a party.

10. When you hear your jam at a party...

11. You naturally have to perform.

12. When your drunken self has an awesome idea, but your friends don't approve.

13. When you have to take "the walk of shame."

14. When you learn something new in lecture and you feel super smart, but in all reality...

15. When you remember how much drama goes on around campus.

16. When you have a paper due at midnight, but zoned out during lecture.

17. But somehow you pull it off.

18. When you're trying extra hard to get your crush to notice you.

19. When your parents come to visit, and you make them buy you food.

20. When spring break finally gets here.

Just remember, spring break is right around the corner. So stick it out for a few more weeks, then it's party time.

8 Spotify Playlists To Get You In The Autumn Mood

The temperature may not be very Autumn-like, but these playlists sure are.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

First Snow

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?

Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday for everyone of all ages. There are so many fun things to do in the month of October before Halloween and the day of Halloween. I love Halloween especially with all the candy and different types of goodies. Halloween is for everyone that enjoys to be a part of this wonderful holiday and also be careful on Halloween as well. It gives everyone a chance to show what they love to do as well.
