Ah, winter. The snow falling and fireplace roaring can seem magical, but when the snow becomes slush and you can't find your fuzzy socks, winter can be dreary. Grab any of these funny stories off the shelf and brighten up your day.

"Mother, Can You Not?" by Kate Siegel

Based off of her insanely popular Instagram account @crazyjewishmom, Kate Siegel discusses growing up with her overbearing and neurotic mother. The stories make you want to both laugh and cringe.

The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer

While you'll definitely laugh with Amy as she takes you along on her crazy rides, you'll be unexpectedly touched by the serious and the sad that she has gone through. Amy has had plenty of experiences and plenty to teach us because of it.

Yes Please by Amy Poehler

Amy has a lot of insight to offer us. From losing to the moon, from Tina Fey to Parks and Rec, Amy covers it all. She's been through life and she has learned from life. While very humorous, what we learn from Amy is still sound advice. Let her embarrassments and mistakes be a lesson to us all.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
