How I Will Survive The Winter At Rowan

I just don't understand those complainers.

How I Will Survive The Winter At Rowan
Sammi Caramela

I write this as I sit in my heated home, where I can drive to all the places I need to go instead of walking across campus to class. But I really just love the winter.

I don’t cry when it gets cold because, usually, it all feels the same. From 40 degrees to 20 degrees, I’m convinced my body doesn’t feel a change.

I won’t lie, though. I am nervous to brace the dead of the winter on Rowan’s campus.

But that just means using any and all health benefits I know. From the natural remedies for a common cold to just reminding myself to eat my fruits and vegetables, I’m still not that nervous for the beginning of the semester.

I’ve finally gotten the warm clothes necessary for walking around in the winter. I have a real winter jacket (which is a big step for me), warm sweaters, and snow shoes!

So in the aspect of bundling up? I’m definitely covered.

I’m physically ready for the winter, but that doesn’t stop me from not understanding people who complain so much during the next two and a half months. Maybe I just have colder blood in me; it would explain why I hate the summer so much.

But nor do I understand people who hate the snow. It marks so many memories for me, from making snow cones outside as a little kid to having a snowball fight with my friends during finals week just last month.

While I know that I have the means to survive a winter where I have to brace the cold longer than usual, the nerves are still there. But that is not going to stop me from enjoying my second favorite season as much as physically possible.

No complainers can get me down, I’ll just go play in the snow.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
