Dear Ohio, You Skipped A Season

But if we're being honest no one's really surprised.

You know that beautiful time of the year when you can finally wear sweatshirts, the leaves are falling, and you get that in-between weather before it cools down for the next five months? That nice fall season we all look forward to after months of sweating out the summer?

Ohio decided we don't need that season.

In reality, Ohio winter doesn't really hit until January, but we still usually get some buffer between the summer heat and the freezing nights. But this year we went straight from the heat to seeing our friends pull out their winter coats.

It shouldn't be that big of a deal right? To be completely honest most the typical "fall" activities you can go do can still be done in the weather we have right now. Apple picking, haunted trails, and football games don't stop just because it's ten degrees cooler than it usually is during this time of year.

But there are other things associated with colder weather. You've got daylight savings taking away much-needed sunlight, less motivation to go outside because of the cold, and don't get me started about worrying about paying the heating bill. Even worse than these things are mental illnesses like seasonal affective disorder. When it starts getting colder and darker earlier in the year, who's to say someone's seasonal depression won't also flare up earlier? It sucks too because there's not much any of us can do about changing the weather.

The worst part about Ohio weather is that when summer or winter hit, they hit hard and long. We spent basically June to halfway through October worrying about the heat index. Come winter, I'm sure I'll be wearing three layers of clothes outside until April ends. There's no in between and not only is it seriously messing with my allergies but just my mood in general.

So Ohio, please hold off on giving us this colder weather for a little bit, some of us would like to enjoy the four seasons we're supposed to have.

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.
