The 8 Inevitable Stages Of Winter In The Northeast

We're sick of snow. Let's all move to Florida.

The 8 Inevitable Stages Of Winter In The Northeast

It's winter time now and it's not just snowflakes and gumdrops. We face harsh temperatures, lots of snow, and we are certainly pros at layering clothing.

1. A drastic drop in temperature

One moment you’re enjoying the nice 50 degree weather, until one day, all you see on the forecast is single digit temperatures. Time to break out all your winter layers.

2. Restless nights

Your heating and four blankets can never be enough. Your body heat drops instantly when you start to sleep. It’s impossible to get a good night’s rest in the winter.

3. Layering your clothing

Your limbs start to feel as if they are going to fall off, and you’re not sure if that is because your circulation is cut off from too many tight layers or from the numbness the cold weather brings.

4. Snow

The first snow is always beautiful, without a doubt. But after a couple of times, you are annoyed to see even a single snowflake fall from the sky.

5. Winter activities

You look forward to ice skating, making hot cocoa, and watching holiday movies. But after some time, you have no desire to do these activities anymore.

6. Contemplating moving to a warmer state

Enough with the cold weather! All you begin to think about is moving to a beautiful sunny area, where the temperature doesn’t drop below 60 degrees.

7. Melting snow

The snow can only look so beautiful for so long. When the snow melts, your town quickly goes from a winter wonderland to a dirty wonderland of heaping piles of black snow.

8. Realizing you have to wait until May for warm weather

February passes and you dust off your bathing suits and sandals, but the sunnier days aren’t as close as you think they are.

Winter time isn't much fun. And moving down south doesn't sound like a terrible idea.

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.

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.
