This Is Snow From The Eyes Of A Southern Girl

Snow is not just frozen rain. It is so much more.

Ever since I can remember, I have always been absolutely obsessed and awed by snow. Growing up and currently living in the south means that snow is a celebration in itself. To those who are used to snow, I'm sure it's a whole other perspective.

Being a southern girl means checking the weather app ten times a day in hopes of seeing that little snowflake. During the winter months, you can bet I am constantly on the look out for potential snow.

When the weather app does say it will snow, excitement is all I can feel. The thought of looking up and seeing fluffy snow falling from the sky is pure joy. It's exciting. Snow is something that isn't too common here. It means having classes cancelled and spending the day with your family.

I remember last winter when Georgia got hit with so much snow. No, it wasn't over a foot, but it was a tremendous amount to me. Being able to build snowmen and have your boots sink down into the snow is the most foreign yet amazing feeling.

Because it doesn't happen often, it's so special. My family loves snow just as much as I do. We wear our best snow day outfits then spend ten minutes outside before it gets too cold for us. Then, we drink some hot chocolate and repeat the process. It's always such a cheerful time that each of us cherish.

Some people might be thinking, "it is just snow, calm down," but it isn't just snow to me. Snow is not just frozen rain. It is so much more. It's a gorgeous scenery. It's family time. It's fun and whimsical. I will always love snow.

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.
