Dear Climate Change, We Floridians Are Fed Up With You

Don't we live in the "Sunshine State?"

Dear Climate Change, We Floridians Are Fed Up With You
Warren Wong

Dear climate change,

Your friends down here in the "Sunshine State," of Florida are NOT appreciative of this cold weather. To start, we don't own the proper attire. Yes, buying new clothes is something we like to do, but to wear winter clothes only 10 times throughout the entire year is something called...a waste of money.

Not only does our current wardrobes just consist of summertime apparel, but we don't enjoy freezing our butts off when we college kids want to go out at night. Maybe it is nice not to feel sweaty and overheated while we are out having a jolly old time, but something about being too cold isn't the best of feelings.

Hence trying to take pictures in this weather is near to impossible. Standing outside in the forty-three-degree weather is simply not worth the picture. As we try not trample over one another to get inside, our noses turn blush red, our faces become numb, and we all look like marshmallows as we try to layer up. A look that we Floridians are for sure not used too.

Being that we are so not used to dressing to par for the winter time, the amount of people who have caught the flu or have gotten a cold is immense. Every person in the perimeter is suffering from some sort of sniffles and I can bet you that it is all because of the extreme change in temperature.

Now to the people that make fun of us Floridians for saying its WAY too cold out: Just think about it, we are used to warm weather year round, so when these cold fronts come, it's as if our entire universe just did a complete 360. We understand that you have to deal with this freezing cold weather for months on end, which is why I am sorry for you.

I am sorry that you chose to live in a place that gets below zero temperatures, gets dark at 5pm, and calls for many snow days. I don't like to brag but that's why Florida is the best state EVER. Being a snowbird is not a thing. Us Floridians get to travel to cold places for fun and return back to warm weather in just a few days. This is something we like to call a luxury.

So to all the snowbirds that LOVE to migrate down to Florida during this time of year: We are advising you to stay away because the bronze skin coloring you would like to return back to your cold state with, I can assure is not happening. We understand you are envious of what Floridians experience on a daily basis, but as of right now we are also suffering down south.

This love Floridians have for warm temperatures is why we are begging you, the climate change, to make a quick turn around and head back to the places that are known to be these absurdly low temperatures during this time of year. In all fairness they know what is coming for them and I promise you we do not.

From,

Your bitter Floridians

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.
