When you give the East Coast a snow storm, certain things start happening. People experience one of two emotions, excitement or fear. You would think after all these years that we wouldn't freak out every time we hear the word snow.

Right now, the grocery store shelves are bare and void of bread, water, and canned goods and Home Depot and Lowe's are packed with people trying to get generators. The stores are packed full of frustrated people just trying to prepare for this winter storm. These are the people that experience fear and are scared they are going to be stranded in their homes for a period of time.

The fear also goes along with staying off the roads. The icy conditions make it hard to navigate;however, there are some circumstances that make it difficult to stay off the roads.

People have to go to work and this leads to families being freaked out that their loved ones are braving the cold and ice and could possibly be in danger. While this fear is justified, it leads to the question of whether it is ethical for businesses to risk the lives of their employees just to make money.

On the other end of the scale, you have those experiencing excitement. These are more of the school kids that are happy to have a snow day and not go to school. They are thrilled at the prospect of being able to sled and throw snowballs and make snow angels. For some of these children it is their first time seeing snow and it is a magical moment.

Whatever the emotion you are feeling, remember to stay safe and warm. The extreme temperatures the snow brings can lead to hypothermia and other scary conditions. Take breaks and drink plenty of hot chocolate because when you give the East Coast a snow storm, staying warm and cozy is a must.

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.

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.
