ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal resigned this past weekend due to inclement weather. Snow, sleet and ice-plagued the streets of Georgia this past weekend while Walmart's bread and milk sales tripled. Having only served the state of Georgia from 2011, he has surprisingly seen several "snowpocalypses" during his term.

During his resignation speech, Deal stated:

"I just can't do this anymore. We have one salt truck. If the people of Georgia even think about snow, the state completely shuts down. It's too much for one man to handle. It has been an amazing five years serving y'all."

Deal left abruptly and refused questions from press.

After picking up milk and preparing for impending doom, Deal returned with a young man.

"This is Mark. He's a clerk at Wal-Mart and has held the state together better than I ever could have. Mark is in charge now."

Mark had no comment on this nomination.

In 2014, during the snow storm that brought Georgia to its knees, Deal was unable to prevent the tragedy that followed. Georgia cows began striking, refusing to produce more milk after excess sales due to snow. Georgia highways were backed up for miles, but no one was really surprised about that. Walmart, Thomas Bread and Mayfield stocks spiked and caused massive economic fluctuation.

We interviewed one North Georgia citizen to hear what they had to say about this horrific event.

"I don't like to think about it. When I close my eyes, I still see grocery stores with more people than food," Atlanta professor Grace Shoeman said as she recounted the catastrophic series of incidents.

"People camped out on the highway because they don't understand the word 'Hazardous'. Why aren't we prepared for this? What is wrong with this state?"

After less than one inch of snow, conditions deteriorated in the southern state. Despite the lack of snow on the roads, 15 accidents occurred within an hour of the so-called blizzard. We found a native New Yorker — who had recently moved to Georgia —outside tanning and attempted to interview them. Unfortunately, we could not hear their comments through bellowing laughter at the word, 'snowpocalypse'.

Without a governor to hold accountable for the poor weather, Georgians looked to the stressed Walmart clerk left in charge. He was found curled up in the fetal position, crying.

With the winter storm behind us, as the dust settles, we say goodbye to Governor Deal. Thank you for never preparing us for snow in almost six years of service. You will be missed.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
