The 7 Types of Temple University Students In The Winter

From the brave Owl in the short shorts to the students who've never seen an inch of snow.

No one likes going to class from December to February. Walking in the freezing cold just to not understand what's going on in that one required class doesn't seem worth it. Tons of money from our wallets are going towards these courses, and you shouldn't lose points for being absent (even though we're paying for it... that's for another day).

Walking from your off-campus apartment to Anderson and Gladfelter or trekking from Morgan to Annenberg may seem like hell. Scratch that; it is hell. Sadly, you gotta do what you gotta do. On your way to class you'll definitely come across these seven types of Temple students.

1. The Layered Student

Everyone knows that one person who walks in late to class with 14 layers on. They take 10 minutes to take everything off, and at first it's annoying as hell but then it gets plain old hilarious. No matter what temperature it is outside, from -5 degrees to 40 degrees, you'll find these Owls all bundled up.

2. The Athlete

Temple athletes confuse all of us. Not only do some get full-rides and other bonuses when other deserving students should (sorry to put them on blast). Instead, they wear the same Under Armor clothes every damn day. In the middle of January, they're still walking around campus with those gray sweats, maroon quarter zips, and half-full gallon jugs of water.

3. The Brave

Ever seen that one kid on campus walking around in a t-shirt and shorts? What's that about? Sure, maybe 25 percent of those people are going to or from the gym. The others, though, I'm not so sure. Did they wake up late? Did they not do laundry? Are they super human? So many questions and literally no answers.

4. The International Student

You hear the smooth purr of a car behind you by the SAC. You turn around, crisp air hits you in the face, and you roll your eyes. It's a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. Who's driving it? It's an international student with all Gucci everything, a Louis Vuitton backpack in the front seat, and three friends clad in Balenziaga in the back. Are you jealous? Hell yes. Can you move from the cold? No way.

5. The Suit & Tie Student

Whether it be those pesky Fox students that always have presentations or that one dude that always wears that plaid suit, suit and ties scatter around campus. Now's not the time to look good, Derek. Just wear two pairs of sweats, fluffy socks, and a winter coat to your marketing presentation like the rest of us.

6. The Hermit

You will never see a Temple hermit. They never leave the warmth of their six-person apartment on 17th and Berks. Going to class is too much for them. Going outside is too much for them. Moving around is too much for them. You get my point. Have fun seeing this person after the groundhog doesn't get scared from its shadow.

7. The Never-Seen-Snow Student

Temple's known for having students from all over the U.S. and the globe. This means that some students are Californian, Floridian, or Puerto Rican residents. They have never seen the snow. And even after their first freak out at 3:00 AM with the first snowflake falling, they'll never get over it. Look out for students with smiles on their faces when it's under 32 degrees. (They don't know how horrible it can get).

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.

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.
