Dear Floridians, Enjoy This Weather While You Can

As per usual, Florida is late for winter. After giving us a warm Christmas and a semi-cool New Year's Eve, it's safe to say that Floridian's are disappointed.

I've lived here pretty much my whole life and Florida's weather has never quite captured the essence of winter, which is understandable. People move down here to avoid the cold, but recently it appears that Florida is trying to win us back.

Last week and this week, the temperatures have ranged from about 48-67 degrees and I'd like to say that "this is what we've been waiting for!" Florida is participating in a cold-front that we all know won't last very long, so it's our chance to really enjoy it. Don't waste these moments of cool air inside with your AC pumping in the 75-degree air.

Take advantage of the cold. Wear leggings, wear comfy sweaters, and (even though I don't like them) why not wear some Ugg-type boots. Let your freak flag fly.

As Floridians know, we usually get made fun of for "overreacting" to the cold. But NEWS FLASH, we don't get to enjoy any cool weather ever. So we're sorry for steering into the skid as hard as possible when there's a small hint of cool air in the forecast.

I'm almost entirely sure that Snow Birds will agree that this is some of their favorite weather too because they never stay long enough to endure the scorching heat that all but melts our bodies into puddles of sweat. If I ever see a Snow Bird here year-round I'll be impressed.

So basically what I'm saying is, for however much longer this insanely great weather is going to last, let us Floridians enjoy it in our own way. K, thanks.

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.
