Why Snow Days Are The Best And The Worst

With the first snowfall of the year in Michigan happening over the weekend, there was a ton of excitement (and groans) from everyone across the state. Some people hate the snow, some people love it. With the heavy snowfall that is bound to make its way through Michigan in the near future that means one important thing to anyone who is in school: snow days. There are pros and cons to snow days and they really aren't hard to come up with. Snow days consist of fun, but also some ultimate laziness. Here are why snow days are the absolute best and the absolute worst at the same time.

BEST

I love snow. It's pretty, it's fluffy, and it's fun. When there's a snow day, there is no doubt that you'll find me outside in the snow for at least a little while. Just being able to watch the snow fall is a beautiful sight in of itself. If you're brave enough to be outside in the cold for an extended period of time, you can even enjoy a snowball fight with friends, go sledding, or build a snowman. Any of this stuff is fun no matter old you are.

WORST

Just because there's a snow day, doesn't mean that everything else just stops in the world. There is still work that needs to be done and important things that must take priority above just laying around. Snow days, without a doubt, promote laziness. If you don't have to go to school, your mind automatically turns off for the rest of the day. All you want to do is sit around and watch Netflix or lie in your bed all day and read a good book in the warmth of your room. While we wish every snowy could be like this, it cannot obviously happen without sacrificing some important work that probably needs to be done.

BEST

For exactly the same reason, you get to sit around and do nothing all day if you allow yourself. You can take a break from life and just relax for hours on end without feeling bad about it. Wrap yourself up in your warmest blanket, make some hot cocoa, and just sit around in the warmth of your own room and relax.

WORST

While forgetting about the rest of the world isn't always possible. If you still work while you're in school, just because there's a snow day doesn't always mean work is cancelled. So even though your classes for the day aren't going to happen, you still have to drag your lazy self out of bed to go to work. Good thing you're making money, though, otherwise if would for sure not be worth it.

Snow days are great and awful. Even though we should all be getting some work done on those days, we can't help but want to be lazy. If you're lucky enough, you'll be able to take advantage of the warmth inside and the day off. But some won't be as lucky and will be enjoying the snow day from work or the library.

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.
