Dear Kentucky Winter

Fall was disappointing; Don't be disappointing

Dear Kentucky Winter,

I was really disappointed with Kentucky Autumn this year. I didn't get to see the leaves turn bright red and brown and yellow this year. I didn't get to feel a smooth transition from warmer temperatures to cooler temperatures. I didn't get to slowly stockpile on my favorite sweaters and fuzzy socks or anything of the nature.

No - I got to experience seventy degrees all the way up to November. I got to keep wearing my summer clothing because it was far too warm for my autumn and winter clothing. I got to see all of the leaves fall off of all of the trees in a week's time. We had a cold snap from the summer-like weather to nearly winter-like weather.

Kentucky didn't get to experience autumn.

Kentucky Winter, I'm begging you to give us something more than you gave us last year! I'm begging for a cold snap that lasts for three months. I'm begging for snow. I'm begging for overcast skies. I'm begging you to let me where my fuzzy socks and winter boots whenever I go out.

Please snow on Christmas.

Please give me a foot of snow.

Please let snow days happen.

Let putting up my tree be something I enjoy.

Because I don't know about anyone else, but I was severely disappointed in the lack of charisma from Kentucky Autumn. Kentucky Summer was far too enthusiastic for my taste, and I miss Kentucky Spring like no other. I want to look outside and scream,"IT'S SNOWING!" like a little kid again.

I'm an adult, now, and I don't have too many luxuries in life. Seeing large snowflakes fall to the ground and actually stick to the ground would bring so much joy into my life.

So, Kentucky Winter, I'm asking you to come visit us and stay a while.

Sincerely,

Someone who is dreaming of a white Christmas

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.
