5 Ways To Know It's Snowing In The South
Odyssey

It's no secret that the south isn't prepared for snow, I mean with our humid climates and sunny and 65 days even in the middle of winter we rarely get the chance to see snow. But when we do see that little snowflake appear on our forecasts there's always a few ways to tell it's snowing in the south.

1. Every store mysteriously runs out of bread and milk

I don't know what is about southerners but every time we here it's going to snow we rush to the store to stock up on the essential items we need before the "blizzard" arrives like the apocalypse arrives.


2. We call everyone we know to let them snow is on the way.

No matter where you go someone is letting you know about the 25% chance of snow that's forecasted and asks if you've gotten your rations for bread and milk sandwiches.

3. Everything shuts down by the second snowflake

Oh, you had work today at 9 a.m. but you just saw three snowflakes? it's canceled, the roads are dangerous. Prepare yourself for the #Snowpocalypse

4. Everyone bundles up like they're in Antartica

When it drops below 55 degrees you absolutely have to wear three pairs of pants and two jackets, it's a rule here in the south.

5. Everyone takes pictures and plays in the snow.

You have to go play in the snow and document every moment because it might be another two years before you see snow again even though you got about 1/16th of an inch of snow.

Here are some pics from a recent snow storm in the south:

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.
