Snow in the South is an infamous joke, after a season of being tough as nails in football, the snow sort of destroys our pride. There is widespread panic and we are reminded we are not that superior to all the other areas of America. Winter is not a season for the weak, or really for the south. So here are 11 things you will see when it snow's in the south.

1. Bread and Milk? Gone.

You can go to your local Publix, Kroger, or whatever. I promise the shelves are barren.

2. An inch and a foot are essentially the same thing.

All horrible driving conditions, we may not make it out of this alive.

3. Snow has the Power to shut down an entire city.

Nobody move! Nobody Drive!

4. When the Mom's find out school is getting out early.

Gotta get them babies out of school, they might get snowed in.

5. There is widespread panic!

Cabin Fever!!

6. Waiting for School to be closed tomorrow.

It never fails to be a thrilling wait.

7. ICE???

We are often forgetful that something that goes hand & hand with snow is Ice.

8. 30 Degrees & light snow absolutely calls for Eskimo gear.

If you aren't sweating them you aren't really properly snow dressed.

9. No matter the amount, kids are playing in it.


You can absolutely sled in 1/2 an inch of snow & build an entire igloo.

10. The People who don't like snow.


Hot cocoa & the indoors anyone?

11. VS the people who do love snow.


Overall, I hope your snow days are fun and I promise it won't last long. So enjoy them and have no fear, it will melt, the sun is bound to come out eventually.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
