Steps to take and avoid

Surviving Snow Storms
HollywoodLife

With winter storm Jonas tearing through the Northeast over this past weekend (cue your favorite Jonas Brothers tune here), people everywhere are beginning to prepare for the next storm. Looking for their salt, their shovels, their favorite gloves and boots, they begin to think, "How long will I be stuck at home?" "Do we have candles? What about batteries? Firewood?" they ponder. Then the real terror sets in:

"Do we have enough food?"

Everyone's guilty of it. If you live in a dorm, you've probably done it. If you're just beginning to live alone, chances are you'll do it. If you live at home, your mom's definitely done it and you just might have been coerced into doing it yourself. Whenever meteorologists predict inclement weather, people everywhere rush to their favorite grocery store to stock up on their treats of choice. Now, emergency preparedness is important. Homes should always be stocked ready with the right survival necessities should people find themselves in a dangerous situation. Sites like ready.gov and Emergency Preparedness from the CDC are great tools that should be utilized for making plans. Whatever you do to prepare for the winter storms, don't panic like this guy...

Two years ago comedian Vic DiBitetto took the internet by storm (see what I did there) when he posted this video to his YouTube page. Just look at this little snow angel with his bread and milk...

Honestly, props to Vic for being the only one who said what everyone else was thinking! The only thing that makes him happier than snow? Finally earning his 15 minutes of fame...

A stand-up comedian for 30 years, every time a blizzard blows through town DiBitetto's viral video resurfaces. Check out more about him on his Facebook or his website.

Whatever you do during the winter months, stay safe and have fun!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
