If you live in Michigan, or anywhere remotely close to it, you know what springtime means; nothing, it means absolutely nothing.

Do not expect Michigan to conform to any sort of spring standards because it will not happen. Michigan cannot be tamed.

So if you've ever experienced a Michigan spring, you may have found yourself pondering these thoughts.

1. "Yes! It's the first day of spring! That means I'll be able to wear shorts in a few months!"

Just because it's technically spring, doesn't mean that the temperature will exceed 40 degrees anytime soon.

2. "Even though there's a wind chill advisory, the sun is peaking out so that's a good sign, right?"

We'll take any sun we can get.

3. "Oh my goodness it's 8 pm and it's still light outside! This is incredible!"

After months of sunset set occurring at what feels like noon, you forget how nice longer days are.

4. "The snow is melting so that means I can wear sandals"

This seems to be a universal assumption among Michiganders, however, I for one still take issue with this.

5. "Oh boy! It's finally starting to feel like spring!"

Time to break out my shorts!

6. "Ope. Looks like there's another winter storm headed our way."

Don't ever get too attached to the weather.

7. "What even is spring?"

It's like the tooth fairy. It's made up, I tell you!

8. "Wow, a snow day in April! Who would've thunk?"

The only upside to a snow storm in April.

9. "Oh my gosh! WHY is it 80 degrees?"

There is NO transition period.

10. "I guess it's time to put my winter attire away."

You must change over your wardrobe to fit the new weather.

11. "It's hotter than Hades! How will I ever live?"

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.
