Not to be biased (but in fact I will be) West Chester University is among one of THE greatest University's I have ever come across. I mean truly from its downtown scene to the beautiful scenery on campus, West Chester is a great place to be. During most weekends the whole town is full of people who are out and about enjoying whatever the weekends may bring them. Yet, during the week many of the students are busy with school work, extracurricular activities, jobs, and usually avoiding the winter weather that Pennsylvania oh so generously provides us with.

That is except during the rare occurrences when global warming provides us with a sunny and 75-degree day in the middle of February. A warm day in West Chester is like no other, and if you've never experienced the glory let me share a glimpse of a day in the life.

1. Walking to your 8 a.m in your parka before realizing it's not actually below freezing today...and instead kind of warm?

We're foreign to this type of weather in February, so who can blame us all for dressing as we normally do to go into the usual tundra of winter.

2. The class is held outside to enjoy the rare warm day.

This is among one of the best parts of West Chester when we get a beautiful day even the professors want us to enjoy it, while still ensuring that our tuition is going towards a great education.

3. Seeing happy faces everywhere you walk (on and off campus.)

Warm weather brings a sense of extreme euphoria for everyone and it certainly shows in West Chester.


4. Every inch of the academic & residence quads is full of students.

The quads are sometimes full but not even close in comparison to the quads on warm and sunny days. It looks like a scene out of a typical college movie; students playing frisbee or tossing around a football, picnic blankets full of people doing homework, listening to music, and basking in the sun.

5. "Muscle-heads" eager to wear their freshly made cut off tee's walking around in groups.

We all know who I'm talking about, we've all seen them, and we all truly know their confidence and extreme "I don't give a f*ck" attitude is somewhat admirable to a certain degree.

6. Pop-up Hammocks in between every tree.

Students seem to have these rearing and ready to go as soon as the sun comes out.

7. Every porch and front lawn off campus being utilized for casual day-drinks and cornhole.

It's a mixture of light day drinking, games, and studying on front porches off-campus. Here at West Chester, we not only value our studies but our right to relax and unwind.

8. Super fit and attractive people exercising outdoors.

Health, fitness, wellness...you get the gist.

9. DOGS EVERYWHERE.

The sun is out and all dog owners are here to make college students day's even better by walking them around campus or in town.


10. Overall, great vibes.

West Chester is just a happy place to be, but add some sunshine and warm weather into the equation and it's a whole new level of happiness everywhere you 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.

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.
