Snow, Please Go Away

Enough Is Enough

Alright living in New England, you learn to accept that you are going to get snow at one point or another. Here are the five stages of snow.

First snow!

OMG! Yes, it is the first big snow of the winter, which means people forget how to drive, kids get off school leaving parents struggling to find something to do with their kids, and your thinking it's so pretty. I am driving in a winter wonderland and I can build a snowman. It's a perfect day for cuddling up with a book with your favorite blanket. Also, let's not forget it is perfect for those artistic photos that everybody is going to be putting up on Instagram.

Second snow!

Kids get the day off; they get to sleep in, relax, and some are even okay with going outside to shovel. Parents still struggle to find someone to watch the kids since their work shows no mercy for snow. Kids go outside and play. It's still a grand old time.

Third snow!

Alright, it's the third snow; we got this. You're stocked up ready for anything, got all your supplies, and you know you just have to wait it out. Kids get a little harder to deal with and parents just want to ship them back off to school. Kids get bored and out of control, plans get canceled and there's a long list of stuff that happens. This is when you flip from "winter isn't so bad" to "winter is just a mess".

Fourth snow!

Are you freaking kidding me?! This is when the love of snow turns into complete hatred. You become sick of snow and all that it stands for and as you look out on to your yard, you think all this snow will never melt and I am going to die in massive amounts of snow. Don't worry, it will melt. It might stay until next June, but it will melt.

Fifth snow!

That's it, I'm moving to California!

This is the struggle of living in New England during the winter months, but you know, even with all the snow and everything that comes during the winter I would not have it any other way.

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.
