Dear Kansas, Get Your Weather Together

It was said over and over, “winter is coming” everyone laughed and said “When? There are only 4 Starks left,” (but that’s beside the point.)

Everyone was wishing for winter, and, well, here we are. I’ve worn double shirts, double pants, boots, and a winter jacket and I am still freezing cold.

I don’t think that looking at the temp on my phone and seeing 37 degrees then saying “Ooh, it looks like it will warm up today,” is normal at all. Yes, it is way better than it being 15 degrees out or if it feels like it's -2 degrees (because of the wind), but I ask, CAN WE GET SNOW?

Look, it's simple: it’s already cold and we still have to go to work, but if it snowed we would have an excuse to stay indoors. Also, I know it’s flat Kansas but why is it so windy? At this point, I wish I was Dorothy and that Oz was this warm and sunny place.

Wichita *rolls eyes* (and Kansas,) I’ve learned to love you, but why can’t we get snow and stay indoors? Houston got snow, and it hasn’t snowed there in nine years!

The only thing I’m saying is that, if I have to wake up for work in 6-degree weather, I’m taking a blanket with me. Also, winter is only nice from indoors because (even with snow) at some point you have to go outside. Kansas, I just want you to warm up a bit.

As for now, I’m dreaming of sunny beaches, 80-degree weather, no clouds or wind in the sky, and a mojito in my hand. I'm constantly visiting Hawaii, Cancun, Cozumel, The Bahamas, Copa Cabana, Bahia, Tulum, and endless clear blue beaches in my mind.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
