Thoughts You've Definitely Had Walking To Class At MSU In The Winter

F**k the wind.

Thoughts You've Definitely Had Walking To Class At MSU In The Winter
Wired Jersey

The leaves start to shrivel, the trees are completely bare, and girls start whipping out parkas and Uggs. Everyone looks straight at the ground when walking around campus, and everyone is completely miserable. The campus looks like a ghost town. It is officially winter time at Montclair State.

This is, without a doubt, the worst time of the year. The cold is unbelievable and the wind is unbearable. Even if it snows 10 feet, Suzy Cole won't close school, so we're all left to suffer. Everyone hates going to class from December to March, because it leads to almost-certain death. On any given winter day, a typical MSU student's thought process goes a little somethin' like this:

1. It’s sunny out. It won’t be that cold.

2. Maybe I should grab a scarf just in case.

3. Oh no. No, no, no.

4. I was wrong.

5. THIS WIND.

6. This is terrible.

7. F**K THE MOUNTAIN.

8. Why is the shuttle taking so long?

9. This shuttle stop should block the wind but it DOESN’T WORK.

10. Is that guy wearing shorts?

11. OK, NextBus said the shuttle will be here in two minutes. I can do this.

12. No, it's fine shuttle driver JUST DRIVE RIGHT PAST US.

13. WE DON’T NEED AN EDUCATION OR ANYTHING.

14. It’s 2:19 p.m.

15. I have a 2:30 p.m. class.

16. If the shuttle gets here in the next three minutes, maybe I can still make it.

17. I can’t feel my face.

18. Or my toes.

19. It’s 2:26 p.m. I’m screwed.

20. OK no we’re OK here comes the shuttle.

21. There are no seats.

22. OF COURSE.

23. I’ll just stand and risk my life.

24. This is the worst shuttle driver at the school.

25. WATCH THAT CURB, SIR.

26. This is the end.

27. This is how I die.

28. If you could also not HIT THAT CAR that would be nice.

29. Almost there. If we can make it to the top of the hill, I can get off this godforsaken bus.

30. And back into the cold.

31. Shit.

32. ShitshitshitshitshitSHIT.

33. Fast walking to Dickson is the most exercise I’m going to get this week.

34. I wish I had a face mask.

35. Like yeah, I might look like an armed robber, but at least I’d be warm.

36. Dickson is 10 feet away.

37. I’M ALMOST OUT OF THE TUNDRA.

38. Phew. OK. Only 10 minutes late that’s not too bad.

39. Even though the professor is giving me a dirty look.

40. This building is Africa. Oh my God.

41. I’m sweating.

42. How is this possible I was literally just shivering?

43. I need to take off my scarf.

44. And my jacket.

45. Ugh I can't survive.

46. GET ME OUT.

47. Am I the only one who's this warm?

48. No one else looks like they're sweating.

49. Can they see me sweating?

50. Omg what is wrong with me?

51. Five minutes left of class. It's the home stretch.

52. OK I'm so warm there is no way I'm putting on my jacket to go back outside.

53. I'm sure I'll be fine. It can't be that cold.

54. Nope, wrong again.

55. Dammit, MSU.

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.
