The Struggles Of Being A Weather Friend...

We aren't superheroes, we are WAYYYYY cooler, AND yes that's me on the far left.

The Struggles Of Being A Weather Friend...

Last weekend was the biggest weekend outside of football games on Saturdays, at the University of Oklahoma. Living in the weather capital of the world is pretty cool. One of the things they don't tell you when studying meteorology is that it is WAYYYY TOO FREAKING HARD. They compare this degree to astrophysics. It does have some pretty cool advantages though.

LIKE DRESSING UP LIKE A SUPERHERO!

It's actually kind of like this, honestly. It isn't easy either putting up with little brats all day with grimy hands.

SOOOOOOO... you can see the problems here. One thing nearly five thousand people don't realize is, we are just as uncomfortable as you are, so don't make this any more awkward than it has to be.

Granted, I love talking to kids, just not the bratty ones that like to put Cheeto fingers all over me, or the ones that like to boss me around, like KID I'M OLDER THAN YOU!

There are so many struggles of being a "weather friend" that I have yet to mention.

This is where it gets really good!

Something I incur every time I put on my cape, it tries to kill me at least once, if not multiple times throughout the event. Could possibly be someone stepping on it, I get it caught in a door but hold a moment. This is the funniest one because you should see my face after this one... A KID PULLS ON IT. ACTUALLY YANKS ME BACKWARDS!

After enduring the amount of pain and suffering I do for the crazy weekends like these, you would think that the bad outweighs the good. In reality though, no matter how many yanks, how many Cheeto hands get put on my pants, it doesn't outweigh my love for weather and telling everyone about it.

Update: I got the stomach flu...

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
