Dear Northerners, Stop Making Fun Of Our Snow And Let Us Enjoy It. Sincerely, Southerners

Dear Northerners,

December 8, 2017: Alabama and other Southern states were blanketed with snow when they woke up to head to work or school. It was record-setting. It was new because the last time we had snow in December was 2010. Usually, we get it after Christmas. February is the usual time and even then, it doesn’t stick and you can’t play in it. But, this time was different. This time, we were able to play in it. This time we were able to enjoy it. This time, we were able to take pictures AND not be able to see the ground beneath the snow, peeking through. This time was awesome.

Then, some of y’all had to get an attitude about us enjoying the snow.

“The snow y’all have is basically just rain. Why are y’all Instagramming this? This is nothing.”

“Why are y’all taking pictures in this snow? Y’all don’t know snow!”

“What is this white rain that is coming down?”

“If y’all are Instagraming this, why don’t y’all Instagram when there is a tornado and the sky is dreary and grey? It’s basically the same thing.”

Let us enjoy our snow. We don’t care that you have it better. We don’t care that you only moved down here because there was no snow. Go back to where you came from, then.

Sincerely,

Southerners

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.
