Snow-Storm Thoughts From A New-Englander

If you are from New England, then you know drinking an iced coffee in the middle of a snow storm is nothing out of the ordinary. Even if it is wicked cold out there.

Snow-Storm Thoughts From A New-Englander

1. What does Tom Brady do during snowstorms?

Who cares what he does, just sign me up!

2. Is it okay to still get an iced coffee?

I don't care if it is below freezing, my iced coffee is a necessity to survival, especially in a snow storm...

3. Is it acceptable to start listening to Christmas music again?

Because I mean, the weather outside is frightful, and baby it’s cold outside. It feels more like Christmas now than it did in December!

4. How many days can you survive off of just Kraft Mac and Cheese and Instant Hot Chocolate?

All college-goers in New England can relate that being broke AND stuck inside because the walk to the dining commons is just not worth it leads us to google questions like this..

5. If the power goes out how am I supposed to watch Netflix?

But seriously… I know nothing more than binge-watching Netflix all day... what does one do without it? Does this mean I have to interact with other human beings now?

6. I think I am going to call all of the closest Dunkin Donuts until I find one that is open.

I am willing to do whatever it takes in order to get some Dunkin Donuts, even if it means risking my own life. My iced coffee regular is worth it.

7. How will the delivery guy get the pizza to my door, and do I have to tip him extra since he came out to bring me it in the snow?

I really feel bad that he has to come out in this weather to bring me my pizza, but it is his job after all... Maybe I can just offer him a slice instead?

8. Is there school tomorrow?

Most will just refer to the storm as a “dusting” in order to get us into school, even if it means trudging over snowbanks taller than us. Also if we do have school is it fine if I just stay home?

9. Why do we all freak out about snowstorms as if it is something new for us?

Unpredicted weather is something that is to be expected by now in New England, but whenever the news forecasts says there is a storm coming, it’s like we've been told a zombie apocalypse is on the rise.

10. The cold might not of bothered Elsa, but it sure does bother me.

We get it, you're a Disney Princess with powers that make you immune to the effects of cold weather! Maybe it's because I'm jealous I'm not a Disney Princess myself, but seriously girl- it bothers us... so just let it go.

11. If I need a good laugh I can just go to the local town’s Facebook page

I first make sure that popcorn is ready then I can watch all of the moms complain about being stuck in with their kids because school is cancelled, or all of the neighborhood dads asking if the trash will still be picked up on time.

12. Most of all, I am proud to be a New Englander

Even when there is three feet of snow on the ground, there is no place I would rather be.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
