College students across the country are returning to campus after winter break. The holiday season is over, but winter is just beginning. The one thing that all students look forward to for the remainder of the winter are snow days. Snow is no longer festive, but rather annoying and a new obstacle to face while walking from class to class. Snow days keep us on our toes and reacting the same way every time.

1. "What's the radar look like?"

Sometimes, the predicted precipitation percentages just don't do it for you. Looking at the radar gives us a better idea of what kind of consistent weather to expect. Seeing if there will be lots of cloud coverage makes it more promising that it will snow on and off all night and into the next day. The radar provides us with a hope that percentages just can't provide.

2. *Checks Snow Day Calculator 1000 times*

This has been a classic move since middle school. Regardless of whether or not this method is accurate, it seems to be the go-to place for students everywhere.

3. "So...has anyone heard anything?"

Usually, talk of snow days happens after class is over for the day. Someone will start a rumor that it's a possibility and it spreads through campus like wildfire. After hearing the initial murmur, there must be an update presented as soon as new information is made available.

4. "What should we do tomorrow?"

Leave it to college students to get their hopes up about everything. Hearing the words "snow" and "day" together lead to the group chat blowing up about plans for the day off. Netflix, snowball fights, a spa day and sleeping are all possibilities...until you return to reality and realize you'll most likely be getting up for your 9:30 the next morning.

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.
