It feels like the worst thing in the world when you're in college and have to wake up. What's even worse? Having to go to school when it's snowing outside. Let us have a snowy day off, please. Here a few valid reasons to cancel the next time.

1. Nobody knows how to drive when you're just trying to get to class.

It's like everyone forgets how to drive and goes 15 miles under the speed limit. Then, we get traffic and everyone is late to class and you already don't want to go.

2. It's even harder to get up for that early class because it's so dreary outside.

It still looks like nighttime... and it's cold. Obviously, I should go back to sleep then.

3. You swore they were going to cancel school, but instead they hit you with only a 2-hour delay so you're bummed.

But I even did that thing from when I was a kid like flush an ice cube down the toilet and wear my PJ's backward. Ugh.

4. You didn't do the homework or assignments from last night because you thought you wouldn't have school.

Well, crap. You can't even BS an assignment when you go to a university.

5. You made a plan of how your snow day was going to go.

Whether it was to stay inside where it's warm and just watch TV and drink hot cocoa or go outside with your friends. It's disappointing either way and ruins plans.

6. You're reminded by your younger siblings how much high school was canceled when it snowed and you just want to go back to the good ol' days.

Hey, our school-work is more difficult, we should be the ones getting the day off, not you.

7. You have to go scrap off any snow or ice on your car which might make you late to class.

You're in 7 layers trying to keep warm while you're taking snow off your car going to a class that you're not very amused with in the first place.

8. When you are late to class because of weather conditions, professors do not care about your well-being.

They may or may not take off points depending on your professor, your class, their syllabus, and how strict they are on attendance. It's nice to feel loved.

9. You could've used a day off, especially because everyone is getting sick this time of year.

It feels like you've won the Olympics if you don't get sick this time of year.

10. You pretty much just space out during class because of the weather. Then, the professor decides to call on you for an answer.

Let the odds be in your favor of answering the question correctly.

11. All you want at the end of a crappy day like this is to relax, but surprise, they assign you more homework.

Really?! You're going to make us go to class and have homework when all we want to do is relax, be lazy, and sleep. C'mon.

These are all common adult things we have to deal with when going to work. So, do us this favor, and give us one more snow day to feel like a kid again and have no work before we have to go out into the "real-world."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
