Dear Pennsylvania Weather, Get It Together

STOP.

Dear Pennsylvania Weather, Get It Together
@rooney_the_schneagle

Dear weather,

Please stop acting out of season. We're are honestly tired of this. On the western side of the state, we had one day of 50 degree weather and then got slammed with snow for the first and second days of spring. We do not appreciate this.

The eastern side of the state just got hit so hard that schools let out early. This is supposed to be spring. I want to wear all of my cute clothes, not go stomping through the slushy streets in my puffer coat that makes me look like a giant marshmallow. We are honestly sick of this.

A few weeks ago, we had really nice weather, and that was great.

A few days it was warm enough to go outside without a heavy coat on. I would really appreciate going back to that sort of weather. As a college student, I cannot do anything without leaving my dorm room, so having the weather nice enough that I won't break my neck when I step outside really helps.

It's hard enough lugging all of my books around. I really don't need the extra challenge of three inches of slush on the sidewalks because it is impossible for my campus to keep the sidewalks clear when it is snowing so hard.

What would be desperately appreciated would be a few weeks of mild weather.

Rain is understandable.

It is spring, after all. Give us some time to start planting flowers. Let the sun shine often. It would be nice if we could keep those biting winds down to a minimum. Then, we could work our way up to some nice 70 degree days in maybe two or three weeks. We could really use that.

The winter blues are really bogging us down.

It's hard enough that all of us college students just got through midterms, but the end of the semester is coming up fast, and that means finals and term papers, so this Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't going to be working for us anymore.

Thanks,

Everyone who lives in Pennsylvania

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
