Out With The Cold

Thank you winter but if you're not getting my classes canceled then I do not want you.

There are few things more beautiful than the first snow fall of the winter or waking up one morning only to find out you have no class because of snow. There is nothing better than staying inside on those days and doing absolutely nothing but watch movies and eat. It's a dream.

I'm over the winter.

It can go away. Or maybe one of you winter lovers can send me away to a nice tropical island. I miss the sunshine. I miss craving ice cream and then actually getting it because the weather isn't in the negatives. I miss walking to class in the morning with my iced coffee—not an iced body.

Sunburn sounds good right now, well, not good but better than the way my fingers feel when I walk around without gloves on or the way my toes feel when I only wear two pairs of socks instead of three.

"Lauren, stop complaining." You might be saying.

But I am not complaining (well I am but not fully). I am most likely speaking for many others.

I know I'm lucky I get to layer up. Not everyone has what they need to stay warm. Yet, as I scroll through Instagram and see vacation pictures or celebrities and influences basking in the "golden hour" sunshine, I become envious. The winter isn't my cup of tea. Bundling up isn't cute and cozy to me. I prefer shorts and t-shirts or better yet, a swimsuit. I don't really understand the appeal of cold weather.

Basically, I just need warm weather. "Don't rush to summer," you might be saying. Well, I'm not… I am simply saying send me to a tropical island. Thank you.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
