It's Only Two Days Into Spring And It's Already Snowing

To add to that, the buses were taking longer because of the icy roads and I wasn't about to wait 15 minutes in the cold waiting for a bus, so I ended up walking to class.

It's the second day of Spring and the snowing winter seems to keep getting pushed back, starting later in the season than usual. Global warming could have something to do with it. I'm not complaining; I don't mind having it rain and spend more time in the cold if it means not having to deal with pollen.

It's kind of surprising to see it snow during this time, especially since it hasn't snowed this late in the year and this much since two years ago. Even thought it's not a lot, I'm still excited to see it snow again even if it is just one of four days from the winter season.

Last time it snowed like this class was cancelled, so I'm sure a lot of people (including myself) were disappointed when they checked their emails this morning and found that only classes before 10 am were cancelled. With the roads and sidewalks so icy and slippery I had to get out early enough to make sure I made it to class on time.

To add to that, the buses were taking longer because of the icy roads and I wasn't about to wait 15 minutes in the cold waiting for a bus, so I ended up walking to class. When I got to class the professor wasn't there, and most of the seats were also empty. Usually, when it snows like this I would expect most people to miss class, but considering we have an exam next class and we still had notes to cover I was a little taken aback. But for the few of us who make the trek to class we waited, it was only ten minutes after class was supposed to start and that's when we received emails from the professor saying we weren't going to make it.

With it already being spring and April right around the corner, I think this is probably going to be the last snowfall of the season. But there's a part of me that just wants the cold to be over even if that means dealing with pollen symptoms. I think now the only weather we have to look forward to is April showers. But until then stay warm and be careful!

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.

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.
