It's not me, it's you.

10 Reasons We Can't Stand Winter

In summer it's too hot, but once winter comes around, my gosh, we can't stand the dark afternoons, and nearly below freezing temperatures. We can never win, can we!? With the thick of winter approaching, I know I'm not the only one who's wanted to toss a punch mother nature's way. Here are just a few of the innumerable amounts of times we've had a little extra hate towards winter.

1. Loading Up On Layers.


Jackets were never designed to fit five layers underneath them, never mind just two. It's physically impossible. Yes, I want to be able to move my arms, and no my goal is not to look arguably 400 pounds. Nope, I just won't do it, you can't make me.

2. Ice

I hate it, you hate it, we all hate the invisible life ruiner that can send your "strut-walking-to-class" confident self falling; no pun intended. Get ready friends, brace yourself, you will be okay, you're not alone.

3. Tis' the Season To Be Sick.


I never want to see another box of Kleenex, bag of Halls, or bottle of Nyquil ever again, kapeesh?

4. Losing Feeling Everywhere.

No, it wasn't the botox it was the two degree weather you just trudged through. You can't smile, you can't send a text under five minutes; the possible becomes impossible, my friends. You know what I'm talking about.

5. Serious Warm Weather FOMO.

Winter break means countless amounts of Instagram posts of your friends on some tropical island. I don't know how much longer I can live vicariously through social media; help.

6. The Lack of Motivation is Real.

It's too cold to do anything; AKA I will not leave my room until winter is over: happy hibernation people, let the food babies grow bigger, and the day light become dimmer.

7. Getting Up in the Morning is 100x Harder.

Kudos to the early risers, but I, myself, have found getting out of bed in the morning to easily be one of the toughest challenges of the day. During the summer or spring, sure, there's a little more purpose to get up and out on nice days; winter? no thank you. No one likes stepping out of bed onto cold floor, with cold feet, and by now you probably have a cold heart too. Don't feel ashamed.

8. Cleaning off Your Car.

The gif speaks for itself, my friends. No one's a fan.

9. Nothing is Pleasant.

Never mind having to clean off your car, what about walking to your car? Waiting for it to warm up? Just stepping outside for anything in general? Yup.

10. Sinking in Snow.

Taking that first step and suddenly you're not only knee deep in snow, but your boots are filled with it, your legs are soaked by it, and your mood is ruined because of it.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
