What A Week Of Weather In The Midwest Is Like
lillaby

Welcome to the Midwest, where the weather's made up and the forecast doesn't matter.

In fact, I've got a forecast for you based off our weather from the past few weeks. (Disclaimer: it's not a REAL forecast. DO NOT plan your week by this.)

Monday

32 and snow.

Yes, this weekend was warm or at least decent, yes there's a chance of snow now. Do you have a problem with that? Did you put your winter coat away? That was stupid, why did you do that? BUST THAT COAT BACK OUT. I KNOW it's March, Mother Nature don't care.

Tuesday

53 and sunny.

So... shorts? Jeans? Light jacket? Double sweatshirt? Am I going to have to go outside quick to see how warm it actually is? Is there a difference in warmth if I'm in the sun or shade? I JUST DON'T KNOW.

Wednesday

65 and PERFECT.

SHORTS. SALMON SHORTS EVERYWHERE.

SUNNY WITH A CHANCE OF SKIPPING CLASS TO ENJOY THIS WEATHER ITS GORGEOUS. All the the frat boys or wannabe frat boys have broken out the salmon shorts or peach shorts or whatever colorful shorts they own. Some guys have even gone as far as breaking out the bro tanks- they're a little TOO excited. People are going home to slip out onto their rooftops to day drink. #College

*Literally sees everyone on campus riding longboards, blading, slacklining, hammock-ing, playing frisbee, etc.*

Thursday

40 and cloudy and windy AF.

What happened? But seriously? It's cloudy, it's windy (when isn't it?). I'm being blown off the sidewalk BY. THE. WIND. I want what Wednesday's weather was, when's that coming back?

Friday

70 and raining.

IT GON RAIN.

Aw score! 70 degrees! *double take* EXCUSE ME? RAIN?

*exasperated sigh as I quote Waka Flocka Flame* "Rain rain go away that's what all my haters say."

Saturday

44 and cloudy.

I didn't want to have fun this weekend anyway. I don't have time to have fun in nice weather on the weekend because college. I'll just curl up and do homework I guess. Or watch movies.

Sunday

50 and partly sunny.

Sure, on the Lord's day the weather is decent. I have to get to church somehow. Even though it's a bit brisk. But I'll take 50 and partly sunny over wind gusts of a hundred and overcast.


Welcome to the weather. Best of luck figuring it out.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
