Well, it is still winter and now that Christmas is over with it is just winter. All we look forward to now is spring, which is quite a while away. Here are some things you are probably thinking about winter after Christmas.

1. There are no more Christmas lights up, so now it is just a winter wasteland.

Winter at night no longer looks pretty, it looks white. White is only pretty for so long.

2. "Good Lord is it cold!"


Though it is winter and it is supposed to be cold, it will still surprise you how cold it is.

3. Questioning how others can look so cute in winter clothes, while you look like the Michelin man.

Them

You

You see someone on the street that looks cute in their boots, tights, scarves and pea coats. Meanwhile, you look like you gained 70 pounds from the holiday eating season.

4. "Guess how many layers I have on?"

It becomes a fun game among friends to think about how warm you are, or how warm you should be given all the layers you have on. Don't forget to list them for added detail and fun.

5. When you wear too many layers, you get hot, you sweat and then your sweat freezes.

You were completely prepared for the arctic blast that is outside and then you start working and realize you wore too many layers. You are then repaid with the chill of your sweat freezing against your back. Now all those layers you wore have become your arch enemy...

6. "Why did I complain about the heat last summer?"

We kept saying how we couldn't wait for winter so it could be cooler. Why didn't someone slap us then?

7. "Do I still have toes?"

If you're outside more than an hour you really start to question how you are still walking with half of your foot so frozen you can't feel it.

8. "I thought our winters aren't supposed to be this cold?"

You trying to be both geographical and meteorological in dissecting why it is so damn cold in your region!!! The answer.... you still don't know. But it's damn cold.

9. Why Northwind? Just, why?

The cold gust of wind sucks the air out of your lungs and makes your eyes water until your tears freeze. Why?

10. Try to remember what summer does feel like.

Try to imagine was summer was like. Now you have the song Olaf sings stuck in your head, you're welcome.

11. Winter is really pretty... When you're inside looking out at it.

The snow is glittering in the sun and looks so artfully placed on all of the Earth. So pretty, yet so cold, so stay inside and admire it from warmth.

12. Groundhog Day is a sick joke that basically says you have to freeze for another six weeks.

He sees his shadow, 6 more weeks of winter. He doesn't see his shadow, 6 weeks until spring. Either way, YOU STILL GOT SIX WEEKS UNTIL SPRING.

13. "30 degrees? Bust out the shorts, we're having a heat wave!!!"

Because after the deep arctic freeze we've had the past few weeks, anything above 20 feels warm.

14. Guessing people's home states by their winter attire.

From a tropical/southern state: parka, giant boots, large gloves, scarf and hood up. Looks like they are trekking through the Arctic Circle with a sled dog team.

From a northern state: t-shirt, shorts, flip-flops. Looks like they are vacationing in Central America.

15. "If it's gonna be this cold. Why can't there at least be snow?!"

Seriously though, if I'm gonna freeze at least let me have fun as I do so.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
