WARNING: Spring Fever Is Coming

Don't let yourself catch it

WARNING: Spring Fever Is Coming
Murphy Chamber of Commerce

Ah, it is now the time of year where everyone is in a bad mood. The Groundhog has seen his shadow as per usual, and six more weeks of winter is officially ahead of us. We can thank Punxsutawney Phil for taking away the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is the time where the Spring semester has gotten rolling, but it still feels like the middle of fall semester. Life moves slow, but we move fast, because if we're outside for too long we may freeze to death.

TIP: If it is suddenly 60 degrees one day, DO NOT LET THIS FOOL YOU. I can guarantee you the next day it will return to an arctic temperature. Never let yourself get too excited on days like this, because this is how Spring fever sneaks up on you.

I think I would rather have this year's flu than Spring fever, because at least the flu ends. Spring fever sticks around until you feel mentally insane and have given up on all things productive in you life.

Our restless behavior at the thought of warm weather and happiness can be too much. The arrival of Spring has a similar feeling to running on a treadmill with a cookie hanging from a string in front of you. No matter how much you run, it's still going to be out of reach. Us college students need to stick together, and help each other survive this terrible fever. It's the only way to get out alive. We can't let ourselves get too excited just yet, because that is like handing yourself Spring fever and setting yourself up for failure. Winter depression is not over yet folks; we must power through until the temperature exceeds a consistent 60 degrees. Keep working hard, and get a little more use out of those winter jackets. Just a few more weeks to go.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
