10 Thoughts Every Midwestern College Student Has During A Snow Storm
Instagram

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.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
