Tis the season for snowy weather and shitty driving conditions! So, in honor of that, I've decided to put together a list of things you can do when you inevitably need to be towed out of a median at 12:30 am because snow is the devil.

1. Read articles on Odyssey!

Perhaps start with some of yours truly! Like this one: https://swoon.theodysseyonline.com/bisexuals-sick-...

2. Play games on your phone

One game you might want to try is BB-Tan. It's a good time killer!

3. Support causes you find important!

Possibly starting with the fight to save free internet! https://www.battleforthenet.com/breaktheinternet/#...

4. Write

I know not everyone enjoys writing as much as I do, but if you are upset, or frustrated, or sad, writing can positively channel those emotions. It's good to get them out, even if you're the only one that will see them.

5. Talk to your loved ones

After the events that took place to find you in need of a tow truck that may take four years to show, you might need some emotional support. What better way to get that then from the people you care about.

6. Listen to music

Whether you ironically listen to "Jesus Take the Wheel" or find something to make you forget about your traumatic experiences.

7. Watch Netflix!

Netflix's mobile app is perfect for these occasions. It's not ideal, but if you plug your phone into the auxiliary, you can have higher-quality sound to help you forget about the less than ideal circumstances.

8. Fantasize about the food you're going to eat when this is over

So. Much. Food.

9. Reminisce about your childhood, when you didn't have these car issues

Life was good back then.

10. Mentally direct the movie of your life

This tragic scene would feature me, played by Reese Witherspoon, crying tragically in her car on the side of the road, until my hunky tow truck driver pulls up (preferably played by James Franco).

11. Plan your dream vacation

Thinking of far-off places where the sun still shines and the breeze is warm.

12. Try to stay warm, while not draining your car

Alternate between keeping the heat on, and the car running, and conserving gas. Both are rather important.

13. Makeup parodies of songs, using this experience as your inspiration

"If I could slide, out of this ditch, then you know I'd drive a thousand miles to just eat food... again" (A Thousand Miles- Vanessa Carlton)

14. Dance badly to your favorite songs

Hope no one passing by assumes you're having a stroke because of it!

15. Cry

Sometimes, you gotta just let it out. The frustrations you're going through are real, and they are very upsetting. It's okay to cry.

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.
