10 Winter Struggles Of The College Student

Winter may be a favorite season for some people. Yes, making a snowman, wearing a cute sweater, and drinking a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows all sound pretty fun. Also, we all have secretly wished for chilly weather to come during those hot and humid summer days. However, winter is also a dreadfully long season with blizzards and unbearable cold, especially for college students. Here are 10 things that happen to college students during a cold winter season.

1. Hitting the snooze button

Getting out of that cozy, fuzzy, and warm blanket and duvet is a real struggle. Why try to go out of your warm bed to face icy wind?

2. Cold dorm bathroom

After a hot shower when you probably took more time than you needed, walking out to the cold communal bathroom will freeze you.

3. Getting ready for a class with hats, scarves, gloves, boots and puffy coat

Seriously, getting ready to go out takes much more time in winter than summer. Do not show any skin if you want to live.

4. Walking to the lecture room

Was that building this far…? Or did our campus get wider overnight?

<5. Yay snow

Wow, fluffy white snow! I can make snow angels and everything looks so pretty!

5. Never mind, NO snow

Because that white fluffy snow to can change into some black slush so quickly. I mean I want my freedom to have my choice of shoes.

6. Eating in bed...a lot

Because why not watch Netflix, eat chips, and feel warm at the same time? But did I really just finish that entire bag of chips?

7. Walking on the ice

Steps, roads, anywhere you walk...It will be wise to watch your feet.

8. When you wear the wrong shoes for the weather

I guess it was not wise to wear a pair of converse today…Tiptoe all the way if you do not want to shiver with wet feet.

9. Should I work out? Or should I not

The gym is far and the weather is cold… doesn't walking around in the cold weather already burn enough calories?

10. Library..? I will study in bed

I mean just like the gym, everything outside my bed is far...I can do readings in my bed...maybe after this short nap.

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.
