The weather is always unpredictable in Syracuse. One day it will be sunny and beautiful, and the next day it will be snowy and frigid. When blizzards hit, we all are miserably trudging through life.

1. Class canceled?

You wake up and look out the window to see nothing but white. You rush to look at your email and no, class is not canceled. Your professor has decided to drive through a hazardous blizzard just to have a 55-minute class. How rude.

2. Snow plows everywhere

You somehow got out of your cozy bed to trudge through the snow to class. Then out of nowhere, you are minding your own business when a snow plow comes at you from behind.

3. ICE ICE ICE

You are struggling to make your way through the inches of slush when you eventually hit a layer of black ice. You may even trip, but then you snap back up before anyone else sees. But let's be real, someone saw.

4. "I can't see!"

The wind, snow, and ice are all too much to handle. You forgot your hat, so now your face and ears are vulnerable to the icy hands of Syracuse's weather. It's a miserable walk to class.

5. The sweat

You finally make it to class and sit down. Little do you know, you have so many layers on that you start to sweat profusely. This is definitely not a cute look.

6. Classes are over!

You have completed your final class of the day. You are so happy that your walk back home seems faster than before.

7. Back to bed

You have fulfilled your duties as a student. You did it. Now you can reward yourself to getting in bed. See you tomorrow.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
