Winter's Here And I'm Not With It

We can skip to Spring now.

Winter's Here And I'm Not With It

It’s been winter for a minute. I don’t officially know when winter starts and fall begins, but it was definitely leaning more toward the fall tip until about mid december, which is when the general BS that is snow/ice/frozen weather began.

And you know, I wasn’t mad at it, at least not at first. I was born during a blizzard and I’ve always been pretty hyped up about snow, so it wasn’t all bad. But that was when I was young, dumb, and had no obligations other than going to school (which usually closed when the weather was bad anyway). Now I’m older, less dumb, and way more bitter, which means that the snow (and the cold) is no longer pretty and fun...it’s some straight bulls**t. Like, this week I went outside to walk my dog and it was 13 degrees. Thirteen. And while I’m freezing and praying and dreaming about some warm weather, my dog (he’s longhaired) is out here chilling, bouncing around, rolling in snowflakes and stuff....he had the nerve to enjoy himself while I’m outside with my tears freezing in my eyes.

I have never been so disrespected by a cool breeze as I have been this week.

The thing that sucks about being an adult when it’s so cold is that you still have obligations. It’s not like being a kid, when going outside in the snow was 100% optional and purely for playtime. Now, you still gotta go to work, to school, to the dentist....wherever. You gotta suffer. And you have to wear so many layers, which I hate because I’m still a child they’re stifling, and also because where I’m from, you have to take the subway to get around, which is always hot as hell. So once you finally finish halfway freezing outside, you can melt completely once you get underground.

Fun times.

Anyway, I’m just going to keep griping about the cold weather until about....March? Spring will most likely be cute and chill, and then I can go back to what I do for the other two seasons: whine about it being too hot.

You know, weather stuff.

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.
