23 Things You've Probably Said If You've Endured an Erie, Pennsylvania Winter

www.city-data.com

I've seen it all when it comes to winter, from no snow to every single thing being covered in snow. It's a struggle, but it's kind of cool to see what happens year to year because it's always different. So with the recent snowfall this past weekend, here's a list of things you'll understand if you've ever gone through a winter in the good old town of Erie, Pennsylvania.

1. Flashback to winter of 2015: "Hey Merry Christmas everyone let's all wear shorts and go outside because it's like 70 degrees and there's no snow I love grass sledding."

2. "How am I supposed to lift this Christmas tree which is twice the size of me when I'm literally a marshmallow who can't feel their hands?"

3. "Okay I have a cute sweater I just need to wear three layers underneath it, plus two coats. I should be fine; I may just get minor frostbite."

4. "I love having to heave my leg out of a snow pile every time I step."

5. "No Mom I can't go get the mail; the snow is piled halfway up the door."

6. "Hey at least now I'm not obligated to go outside because I quite literally can't so now I can stay inside and stay warm and eat."

7. "OH MY GOSH IT'S SNOWING IT'S SO PRETTY, OH MY - wait what do you mean it's only October?"

8. "Christmas without snow is like hot chocolate without marshmallows."

9. "Hey remember when we were colder than the South Pole at one point? Yeah those were the days."

10. "CHRISTMAS MOVIES ARE HERE! CHRISTMAS MOVIES ARE HERE! SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!"

11. "I can't get my hair cut short or wear it up, because then I'll risk getting frostbite on my neck even though that doesn't sound possible."

12. "Why did I think a sweatshirt was a sufficient coat I'm literally going to become a human icicle."

13. "ARE YOU SURE THERE'S A TWO HOUR DELAY DON'T MESS WITH MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT."

14. "OH MY GOODNESS THERE REALLY IS A TWO HOUR DELAY I GET TO SLEEP."

15. "I LOVE HAVING SNOW DAYS EXcept we have to make it up when the weather is- wow I actually hate this."

16. "I SLIPPED AGAIN OH MY GOSH THAT'S COLDDDDD."

17. "I hate the snow why is there so much of it now I have to shovel."

18. "OH MY GOSH THE SNOW IS MELTING I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR 50 YEARS."

19. "Wait it's February and there's no snow this feels so weird."

20. "Can the snow come back?"

21. "Wait I didn't mean it."

22. "But it is really pretty outside."

23. "And snow is kinda fun."

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
