How To Prepare For A New England Snowstorm

Something that really sets New England apart from the rest of the country is our crazy weather. We've seen it all: hurricanes, tornadoes, snow in October, snow in April, 60 degrees on Christmas, and 70 degrees in February. The weather here is about as bonkers as the people who reside here. Although we avoided it for as long as we could, the weekly Nor'easter's have made their return. To all of my fellow winter homebodies, follow these steps to make sure that you get the most out of your snow day.


1. Check the weather channel.

You need to know what you’re in for. New England weather is extremely unpredictable, so you need to stay updated to see exactly how miserable you’re going to be.


2. Prep your house appropriately.

Drive on over to Home Depot and get yourself a power generator. How are you going to watch your programs if you don’t have power?


3. Prep your car appropriately.

You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to get your Dunkin' in the morning. There are no excuses.


4. Stock your fridge.

Enough said.


5. Make a list of all of the shows that you need to catch up on.

It’s February, which means that all of your favorite TV shows just had their winter premieres. That means you’ve got to reserve your comfy spot on the couch and watch the most recent episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Or you can watch the last few (eleven) seasons. Who am I to judge?


6. Save a note with all of your witty blizzard tweets and Instagram selfie captions so that you’re ready to go.

It’s your time to shine. Everyone’s going to be snowed in and constantly refreshing their social media, so you can’t disappoint.


7. Sit back and relax.

It’s finally here. Break out your snuggie and park it on the couch with your favorite foods and drinks (after you get that perfect "look at the snowflakes in my hair" selfie, of course) and enjoy it!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
