From The Girl Who Misses Summer

I miss summer, yes I do. I miss summer, how about you?

From The Girl Who Misses Summer
Micaela Sonnenberg

Winter weather in Michigan is famous for being horrible. Slick roads, drifting, and freezing rain are just some of the obstacles us Michigander's face when we're driving in this said "horrible weather." Just today, in my ten-minute drive from campus to get lunch, I experienced a hail storm, a white-out snow storm, and the sunshine. Don't get me wrong, I love a good snow storm just as much as the next person. I like how beautiful the trees look when there's a fresh snowfall. For me, Christmas without snow isn't really Christmas. I'm also a skier, so fresh powder is a must when skiing here. And who can forget how beautiful the frost is when it's permanently stuck to your care windshield in the morning?

But after being stuck inside for the last three months, this girl is ready for summer!

I'm so looking forward to beach trips with my best friends. Where there's nothing to worry about except getting sand in your eyes. And speaking of sand, I can't wait to feel the sand between my toes as I walk into the lake water at my cottage. I even can't wait to feel the minnows nibbling at my feet.

My parents and my friends say that I act differently in the winter. I'm more reserved and less outspoken. I've always felt pretty different. I'm cooped up inside, which is the number one thing I hate. Being outside in the warmth and the sunshine is what makes me, well me! I love stargazing at nights and hiking through the woods during the day. I love sitting and just soaking up the beautiful trees and the beautiful sky that God has so generously given us. And who could forget the beautifulsummer sunsets?

I love bike riding on the rail trail and seeing just how far I can go until my legs give out. I'm more active, I'm in better shape, and I even sleep better during the summer! Because I can have my windows down and just feel the night breeze as I sleep.

It is January 2017, and I am counting down the days until summer. Am I ashamed? No way.

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.
