Yes, The Change In Season Affects My Mood

My feelings correlated with each season.

Do you have different emotions and associations with each season? I think most of us do. Besides the obvious holidays and change in climate, something about the annual cycle always brings me the same feelings as a new season approaches.

1. Winter: indoors and family

During the winter, it is just plain cold. I came to a college 10 minutes away from the beach because this is not my cup of tea. Being the outdoorsy type, I find myself longing for something more.

During this season, I find myself more stressed out and even going out at night more for entertainment. Winter is also the cuddle season. I feel that more people begin relationships in the winter because it is a time of cuddling up, watching Netflix, and going out to indoor restaurants. The other side of Winter, in which I look forward to, is the Holidays.

In college, this time has become increasingly valuable in that I get to come home and have a special appreciation for the people who are most important to me. After the holidays, however, I am ready to say goodbye to winter.

2. Spring: excitement and anticipation

As Spring rolls around the corner, things start to ramp up. The sun comes out, trees regain their color, and everyone starts to come alive. This time of year is full of anticipation as spring comes with exciting events such as carnivals, proms, and going to the beach when it isn't quite warm enough. This season is very busy and often difficult to remain focused on school while awaiting the summer ahead.

3. Summer: wild, fun, and full of stories

Summer is the time to just experience. During the summer I am always having a blast whether it be with my friends or going to the beach with the fam bam. Most of my time is spent outside and many memories are made. However, towards the end of the summer, I tend to get tired of the lack of structure and am ready for the fun to settle down.

4. Fall: comforting

During the fall (my favorite season), it is time to go back to school. I always enjoy this time because I get to see all my friends from school and build a new year for myself. The air is warm, yet cool. Trees become stunningly beautiful with their array of colors, and you begin to find comfort in getting back on a schedule.

When I think of fall, I think of football games, Halloween, bonfires, and relaxation after a long, fun summer. This is a time of contemplation of your past year along with ideas about how to make your next school year a great one.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
