Swinter as Described by The Office

In honor of the Midwest getting all 4 seasons in one week.

Swinter as Described by The Office

In honor of the fact that the Midwest in the past week has experienced all four seasons.


Looking at all the weather reports calling for sunny, 75 degree days and not believing your luck

Walking outside to the surprisingly warm weather and having to shed your coat, gloves, hat, and scarf immediately.

Sweating to death throughout your day because every building still has the heat on high (and you're wearing layers).

Walking around feeling lighter without all the layers.

Having the rare opportunity to break out your spring/summer clothes a little earlier this year.


Planning activities that are based outside because you can.



Driving around with the windows rolled down with squad and feelin' good.

Feeling the sun on your face after months of dismal skies.

Going outside one day forgetting that the temperature dropped back down to -16 and freezing right there on the spot.

Trying to remember why you don't live on a beach where it can be summer 24/7 because this little stint of warmth has made the cold even worse.

And then, if you're lucky, you'll get hit with an ice storm that knocks out power for days at a time. It was nice while it lasted.

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.
