College students are often unprepared for the snow when they are living on campus. It can be a hassle to remember to bring all of the items you may need in the case of a snow storm. However, this survival guide will provide you with not just the proper gear and great tips, but it will remind you of all the fun you can have when snowed in.

1. Make sure to have snow gear, which can include boots, gloves, heavy jacket and long socks.

2. Make sure to have all the proper utensils you need for food that you plan to eat in your dorm.

3. Make sure to order food before the storm hits because if roads are closed or your campus is closed, you'll be stuck eating the dining hall food.

4. Make sure your electronic device is charged before the power goes out.

5. Prepare a Netflix marathon session.

6. While living on a college campus, be prepared to be entered into a mandatory snowball fight.

7. Wait for the blizzard to be over in order to enter your buried car and get all the snow off.

8. Drink an ample amount of hot chocolate to keep warm on the inside.

9. Get your favorite blanket ready in case the power and heat goes out.

10. Cover yourself as much as possible when going outside.

11. Most importantly, stay safe and warm from the winter storm Jonas, and help anyone in need as much as you can.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
