Why Riverside Sucks If You Like It Cold

Riverside is still experiencing hot weather and I don't like it.

Why Riverside Sucks If You Like It Cold
Brian Wu

It's effin November and we still have high 80s and low 90s! I hate life right now. Now I was born and raised in NorCal and got used to winter starting in mid-October and December having an average temperature of high 40s or low 50s during the day. Winter doesn't end until late January, sometimes February. If you're used to this weather and like this weather, living in Riverside is like living in an eternal hell.

As I already had mentioned, it's early November and it still feels like summer. The sunlight doesn't last quite as long, but we still got that same ol' summer heat. WTF. We had a few times, but it was completely spontaneous. It started cooling down leading up to the rain, then we get thunderstorms, then the heat picks back up. Why?! I really don't understand. Back home, if rain is predicted, then you can expect to see rain for a week, maybe a week and a half.

Probably the best thing about the cold, is winter fashion. Rocking a clean bomber jacket with a hoodie underneath or swap out the bomber with a leather jacket over some faded jeans. Or if you like a classier look, throw on a peacoat over a zip sweater and some dark pants. If it's not too cold wherever you are right now, you can probably survive by just wearing a cardigan over a plain tee and some chinos. You can't really dress like this if you're in Riverside and if you do, you are something else. If you like doing summer things, like going to the beach, then Riverside and the places around it might be more for you. As for me and anyone else who likes cold weather, it's not so great. On the bright side, I only have to suck it for 2 more years.

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.
