10 Thoughts Every Midwestern College Student Has During A Snow Storm

If you haven't heard, you can barely see Michigan on the map right now. We are being pounded by not only a snow storm, but a cold front. So here are 10 things crossing my mind while I'm crossing my fingers that my university cancels classes tomorrow!

1. I'm going to sue if they don't close school...

Giphy

I could slip and fall. I could freeze to death or get frostbite. I'm suing.

2. Do they even care how much I pay in tuition???

Giphy

I don't think anybody who pays college tuition wants to die ON THEIR WAY to get what they pay for! At least use some of my money to buy some salt for the sidewalks...

3. I'm going to freeze to death...

Giphy

My boots were made for walkin' but not in the snow...

4. I'm skipping!

Giphy

5. But if I skip, I can't miss any more days...

Giphy

6. Maybe my professors will cancel on their own...

Giphy

7. I'm not a good driver...

Giphy

I only got my license four years ago! How am I supposed to safely navigate a snowstorm and negative wind chills at 20 miles per hour?

8. I'm transferring to a school that actually cares about me!

Giphy

That's so much work though. Please just cancel class.

9. There's no way they won't cancel class...

Giphy

Because if they don't, I'm suing for real.

10. They finally closed campus!

Giphy

So they do actually care about me. Good to know!

Everybody stay safe out there! Hopefully, your campus (and mine) continues to care about your safety.

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:

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.
