Snowy Campus Survival Guide

Snowy Campus Survival Guide

Here at Penn State, we are experiencing a winter that has been un-lovingly coined the "snowpocalypse." Since this campus is notorious for never canceling school, we females on campus have come up with a foolproof set of rules to avoid slips, freezing necks and messed up hair.

Never wear Uggs when it is snowing or icy. If you prefer to waddle like a penguin from class to class and surfbort down every hill, that's fine. But if you want to walk like a normal human being, for god's sake, please buy a pair of Sorrels. They are ridiculously cute, warm, have great traction and will make you look exactly like every other basic bish on campus! Yay!


Buy a damn parka.
I don't care if you feel like you are joining a cult of nuns walking around campus -- everyone has one for a reason. They work! And they cover your butt. If you have never experienced butt warmth from a jacket, you are about to have your world rocked. 

 


Learn how to rock a beanie. Whether you go skater style or hipster-chic, find a loose fitting beanie and wear the crap out of it. It will prevent blindness from hair flying in your face and fend off the arctic wind from your ears. 

 


Infinity scarves are life. That parka is of no use if there is an icy blast of arctic wind billowing down your neck. 

 


So, there you have it. Welcome to the cult of parka-wearing-Sorrel-loving females of snowy campuses nationwide!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
