If you live in New Jersey or go to school here, you know that if there's one thing (out of the many) that makes no sense, it's the weather. While many people in different states may claim that their state has it worse in the weather department, it doesn't hold a candle to the true insanity that is weather in the state of New Jersey. It's definitely never been enjoyable in the past no matter the season, but thanks to our good old friend global warming the daily weather patterns of NJ have been even more crazy. And these past few weeks are just a small taste of what we can expect for the next few years to come.

Imagine waking up in the morning and not being sure whether to dress for a Nor'easter or for a beautiful spring day. That's how my mornings have been since winter break. There's no consistency with the weather; in this past week, we have had a 'spring shower', a 70 degree day, a snow storm, hurricane winds, and some mid-way days in between. That makes it nearly impossible to appropriately dress for the weather, especially when some of these options happen over the course of one day. On one particular day, I dressed warmer because it was windy and chilly, only to be sweating by noon. Another day I dressed in lighter clothes because I thought it would be nice, only to be freezing. That's how each of my days go, and I know I'm not the only Rutgers student struggling to dress themselves properly for the weather each day (if that's even possible).

If you've never had to experience the dramatic weather changes I've described above, I envy you. My daily life is a daily services of memes describing the weather, like the one with Phineas and Ferb, and I can't think of a single image that represents my life more. So if you're not a current inhabitant of New Jersey and may happen to come across this "interesting" state one of these days, just remember to pack every piece of clothing you own to ensure that you have something that could possibly be appropriate for whatever the weather decides to do that day. And if you're a fellow New Jerseyan like myself, just get ready for the long haul with this weather, because I have a feeling Mother Nature is not going to be too kind to us the rest of 2017. Who knows what else we could experience, I mean, we've already had every single season shoved into the first three months alone.
