If you're from New England, you know how great it is.

We have Boston and New York City. We have the best food, the best of both worlds; city and countryside, but yet, we have one downfall.

The unpredictably of our weather.

Every resident of New England knows that the weather in New England is a slippery slope, an emotional roller coaster, a heart breaker. The one season that is the most up and down is spring. While spring in most places is a time of warmth and sunshine, here in New England you can expect a warm sunny day first and a cold snowy nor'easter the next day.

You have all gone through the following process if you're from New England:

1. There's the miserably cold winter.

Long gone are the summer days and warm weather. You freeze every single day. All it does is snow and there's no hope in sight. It's so dark early and you feel like going to bed at 5 p.m. because, why not? It's pitch black outside.

2. Groundhog Day.

It was already a long and awful winter. Now, it's the end of January and you're relying on the little animal to come out of its hole and restore your faith. You wait to see if Phil sees his shadow or not, but you know it has no bearing whatsoever because Mother Nature is in control.

3. The first nice day.

Then it comes: the first warm glimmer of sunlight. It burns at first, but then you find yourself rejoicing. Everyone is outside feeling the spring fever, but just you wait; it's about to be torn away.

4. SNOW STORM.

Just like that, it's gone. All of a sudden, you're surrounded by 10-in. of snow and you're just begging Mother Nature to relax and let it be spring.

5. A glimpse of hope; another warm day.

It's warm again some way, some how. Now, you spring the clocks forward and you're ready for spring to begin.

6. Just when you think it's OK to put away the snow boots, there's another crazy snow storm.

Just kidding! There's another snow storm happening. Don't retire those snow boots just yet, folks. You'll need them to walk through the next 10-in. that we are getting.

7. Warm weather finally comes and stays.

Finally, the weather begins to warm and stay. You're grateful to be able to walk outside and feel the sun on your face.

8. Spring isn't as pretty as you thought.

Although spring is filled with beautiful warm weather, you cant forget all the mud from the melting snow.

9. It rains. All. The. Time.

Like monsoon amounts of rain, but spring showers bring may flowers (just keep telling yourself that).

10. Finally, its nice spring weather.

It's wonderful, it's magical; the world is amazing, colorful and bright.

11. Then it gets really hot.

You sweat and melt all the time, but you love New England no matter what because it's the absolute best place to be.

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.
