Warm Weather Is Finally Arriving At Fordham

And people are finally coming out of hibernation.

Warm Weather Is Finally Arriving At Fordham

Ah, yes, the warm weather of Spring has finally begun to reach Fordham's Rose Hill campus. After all the drenching rain, freezing temperatures, and snow that can only be enjoyed before it turns into black ice, Mother Earth has finally granted us a few days of 60+ temperatures.

Now, before everyone gets their hopes up, let me reiterate that Spring weather is beginning to come. Of course, living in New York, the weather can go from 70 and sunny to 26 and flurries in what seems like a whole 20 minutes.

Although the Rose Hill campus is stunning after a fresh snowfall and the Fall weather when we return after summer break is nice, there is nothing like Spring at Fordham. In just a few weeks, the weather becomes warm and Rose Hill blooms once again.

One of my favorite sights to see is Edward's Parade packed with hundreds of people just having a good time. Frisbees and footballs are flying through the air (inevitably hitting many unsuspecting people along the way), soccer balls are being kicked left and right, and of course, there's the mass amount of people simply laying in the sun and enjoying the company of friends. It truly is a beautiful sight. There is something so quintessentially college about seeing hundreds of students on one big lawn.

Not only is Eddies a great sight when the weather is warm, but the whole mood and vibe of campus drastically changes. People are walking around... just for a nice stroll. Even my daily walk to class seems so much more positive and easy-going when I don't have to worry about how many layers to put on.

And who doesn't love summer and spring clothes?! As much as I love sweater weather, being able to throw on shorts and a t-shirt is a luxury I surely miss during the Winter and Fall seasons.

Should I be studying for midterms instead of hanging out on Eddies? Yeah, probably. But who can pass up an opportunity to lounge and enjoy the scenery of Fordham?

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.

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.
