Why The Weather In The South Is So Annoying

I don't think it actually fits the definition of "winter"

Why The Weather In The South Is So Annoying
Someecards.com

I decided to transfer to college in South Carolina for a couple of reasons, but the main attraction for me was to trade in the bitter cold in New York for the sunshine year round in the south. Well, I learned very quickly that the weather is super unpredictable in all four seasons in the south.

In the summer thunderstorms come out of no where and are gone as soon as you know it. In fall you have at least three hurricane warnings and one will most likely hit. But then there’s winter, there’s no blizzards like in the north, which I am happy about. But it is annoying how everyday you never know what to expect. Don't trust the meteorologist on the local news station, they are just guessing.

So let me give you a glimpse into what the average week is like in South Carolina and its neighboring states in the southern America. Sunday in early December could be around 65 degrees. A light jacket is needed and the sunshine mixed with the subtle cool breeze equals perfect weather that everyone appreciates. But Monday and Tuesday could reach into the 70s and people start wondering if we skipped winter and spring came early.

The rest of the week flip flops between these two extremes, its either reminiscent of wherever you moved down here from to escape the cold, or it feels like summer when Christmas is right around the corner.

So I guess it could be worse, I could still be in New York freezing, and thank God I'm not in the parts of the country where they already have been digging themselves out of a couple feet of snow since November. The thing that everyone can agree on with me is the fact that winter everywhere means that it gets dark by 5:30 and that sucks for all of us, no matter if we live in the north or south.

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.

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.
