6 Reasons Why I Prefer Any Season Over Spring

Who knows what Mother Nature is gonna throw our way. There may be 85 degree weather that forces me to pull out shorts and sandals, that turns into a tornado warning by 3 pm that very same day.

April showers bring May flowers...

and pollen

and finals

and summer internship applications,

and the list goes on.

This time of year is the epitome of stress. Not only are college students frantically preparing for the end of the year, but everything outside of school seems to be set at fast-forward as well. Here are 6 reasons why I spend all of spring wishing it over with.

1. My respiratory system shuts completely off

Giphy

From about end of March, until beginning of May, I become a mouth-breather who goes through nearly a roll of toilet paper a day. Meanwhile I draw uncomfortable stares from all of my classmates when I sneeze back-to-back during the most important part of the lecture. Don't ask if you see me walking around campus wearing an allergen-induced surgical mask.

2. I cannot make time for anyone.

Giphy

Whether I am filling out an application for an organization position, studying for midterms and starting to prep for finals, or coordinating my work schedule, this time of the semester feels like it's going at about 90 in a 50, and there's no slowing down. The worst part is, there's no one around me to ease the tension because all of my closest friends are just as stressed as I am.

3. The weather is a toss-up

Giphy

Who knows what Mother Nature is gonna throw our way. There may be 85 degree weather that forces me to pull out shorts and sandals, that turns into a tornado warning by 3 pm that very same day. If there's one thing I have learned in college it's to always carry my umbrella and rain coat during second semester.

4. Laundry, Laundry, Laundry

Giphy

And due to Reason #3, I have so much more laundry when I am changing clothes two or three times a day because of humidity and torrential downpours.

5. Seniors graduate

Giphy

As the year comes to a close, you brace yourself for saying goodbye to a class of individuals who were some of the people that welcomed you into college as a freshman. Additionally, you realize that you're one semester closer to being in that position yourself. This equates to adulthood, which realistically, no one is every ready for.

6. No Christmas AND no Birthday

Giphy

Need I say more? No gifts is no fun.

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.

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.
