The dreaded winter storm warnings have been in effect this week and everybody has been anxiously talking about it. It's almost as if people forget that we live in the Midwest, because the first few snow/ice storms of the year always seem to be the end of the world. If you're a college student and one of these storms is headed your way or you're in the middle of one right now, you're guaranteed to hear these 25 things from your fellow students.
1. Do you think we'll actually get that much snow? Two feet of snow just sounds too excessive to be true.
2. Have you checked the weather radar recently?
3. What do you think the roads will be like?
4. Will you go to the grocery store with me to pick up food before the storm comes?
5. My professor better cancel class or I'm going to freak out.
6. I hope that I find out class is cancelled soon so I don't have to do this assignment.
7. There's no way I'm walking to class in this weather.
8. Would it be bad if I called campus security to have them pick me up for class? I mean, this is kind of an emergency.
9. Do you think they'll shut down the whole campus?
10. They've only shut down campus twice in the past twenty years, but do you think this will be an exception?
11. My professor is amazing and already cancelled class because he lives so far away.
12. Why is this one professor so committed to having class today? She literally said she'd walk here if she had to. Is she mental?
13. Is it bad if I call work and tell them I can't come in? They should understand right?
14. I might just be lazy and watch Netflix all day.
15. Yeah, I'm staying in bed all day and nobody can stop me.
16. I don't want to move my car off of the street. The street parking is too good to give up.
17. If my car can't make it up the hill I'm going to scream.
18. If my car gets stuck will you help me get it out?
19. Is it lame that I want to go sledding and build a snowman?
20. If I actually went sledding would you go with me? You know it would be fun.
21. I don't want to walk all the way to the cafeteria for food.
22. I know I'm a horrible person for ordering take-out in the middle of the storm, but I'm really craving Chinese. I'll say a prayer for the delivery person.
23. I hate winter so much.
24. When is spring coming back? Oh, it's over two months away? Fantastic.
25. I swear after college I am moving down south where it's WARM and I never have to deal with storms like this ever again.
Good luck out there everybody! You're going to need all of the motivation and good fortune you can get.
