Don't even try to lie, we all hope and pray for a snow day during the beginning of spring semester. We just had a full month off of school, how can schools really expect us to just jump back into using our brains?

We watch the weather like we should study our textbooks, wear our pajamas inside-out and do crazy snow dances with the intentions that we will wake up to the UK alert telling us the amazing news, "all classes canceled!" Unfortunately, college snow days are just as rare as the sky not being blue. But, when that day finally rolls around, are you just going to sit on your couch all day and watch the snow fall? I sure hope not! Here is a list of 5 fun things to do in Lexington on those flurry days!

1. Head to the bowl outside of Willy T

Grab a trash bag, a cardboard box or a trashcan lid and make your way to the bowl with a few of your best pals! There's no better way to spend a day off, due to snow than playing in it!

2. If the cold is not for you, stay in and cuddle up

Head to the kitchen and make yourself the biggest, sweetest cup of hot chocolate you can make. Then make your way to the couch with the fluffiest blanket you can find. Curl up and warm up with the newest movie on Netflix!

3. Take a trip to Perfect North

If you and your best buddies are big into snowboarding and skiing make a day of it! Perfect North is the perfect place for you to spend a chilly day! Not up for the car ride? Make it time for lots of junk food and catching up with friends you have been to busy to hang with recently!

4. Get organized

If you are like me, after the first week of classes your room may resemble a bomb going off, your planner might be filled with chicken scratch and your textbooks may be lost somewhere in your mix of folders and laundry. A snow day is a blessing in disguise for you! Take the day to go through syllabuses, write out your schedule and label your new school supplies!

5. Grab a cup' o joe with your bestie

What better way to spend a cold day than to bundle up, make your way to the cutest coffee shop in Lex and gossip with your bestie about the hottest Kardashian news! Get caffeinated and warmed up all in one trip!

So, whether you are a stay inside type of person (me!) or the type of person who likes to jump into snow piles, make the most out of your day off! We all know they hardly come around so embrace it while you can!

And of course, at the end of the day, do your snow ritual and hope that you have another one tomorrow!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
