Even though winter is ending soon, it does not mean the cold is. While we face the last couple of weeks of winter there are many things you need to do. You might have been counting down the days until spring, but make the most of these chilly and cloudy days. Grab a blanket and a glass of hot chocolate, and do these five warm indoor activities for those rainy winter days.

1. Hot Chocolate

This one might seem obvious, but what if I told you that having a cup of hot cocoa is more than chocolate powder in warm milk? I'm sure you have left over hot chocolate from November and December, so it's time to finish them off. First off, there are a variety of flavors, from White Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice, Mint, Caramel and the list goes on.

And you don't have to settle for regular milk! Mix it up using almond or coconut milk. Lastly, the best part is the toppings. By adding some whipped cream and a cinnamon stick, a regular cup of warm chocolate powder in milk becomes more like a dessert. So when it is too cold for an ice cream party, you can have a hot chocolate party instead!

2. Music

Now that you have you hot chocolate, it is time to relax. Wrapping up in a warm blanket with a hot drink and some calming music is one of the best ways to spend and indoor kind of day. Especially if you have school work to do, background music can help fill the silence of late night studying. I created a Chill Pill playlist on YouTube for some relaxing vibes.

3. Movies

Soon, weekends can be filled with park trips and beach adventures, but for now, the weather is temperamental, so a movie night can suffice. Romances and horrors are great genres to cozy up to in the dark. If you have Netflix or Hulu, the possibilities of movies are endless.

4. Books

If movies aren't your style or you need a quieter way to relax, pick up a good book. A good book on a rainy day or with calming music is a wonderful way to take a break from the responsibilities of life and escape into another world.

5. Comfort

You have your hot chocolate made, playlist downloaded, movie set and books chosen. Time to forget about any work you have to do, and treat the weekend as a weekend. The only way to properly do this is to be comfortable, because why relax when you could relax? Build a pillow fort on your bed in any clear space using four chairs, an abundance of blankets and all the pillows you can find. This will make any chill session that much more enjoyable. This works in making work more enjoyable too.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
