The First Snow

As told by "Parks and Rec"

The First Snow
huffpost.com

Every winter, we spend the whole start of the season waiting for that first, perfect snowstorm -- from that first spark of excitement, right to that utter disappointment of the cold. Check out these critical "Parks and Recreation" gifs that describe how we all feel about that first big snow of the season.

1. It starts out with the pure excitement that it’s finally going to snow.


2. You start to prepare by buying snacks

.


3. And planning how you're going to spend your snow day.


4. You pray that school and work are closed.


5. Then, you get the call that you're off the hook from responsibilities.


6. And you're waiting for the first flake to fall.


7. When it does, you stare in awe.

8. You get more excited with each bit that starts to accumulate.


9. Until it begins to pound down in a storm.


10. You realize how bad this might be.


11. But you still don't care because you're warm inside -- for now.


12. So you enjoy yourself and binge watch Netflix.

13. Then, eventually, you find yourself bored of being stuck inside.


14. You remember why being snowed in sucks.


15. But you also remember you're still responsibility free, so it's all good.


16. Finally, the next morning hits, and you're excited to spend another day inside.


17. Except there's over a foot of snow on the ground.


18. And you have to shovel it all out.


19. So, reluctantly, you clean your car and the driveway.

20. You freeze in the process.


21. You definitely slip and fall at least once.


22. And you remember how much you actually hate the snow.


23. You spend the rest of the winter wishing for summer because winter sucks.

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.
