25 Things You'll Hear Around Campus Before a Winter Storm

The dreaded winter storm warnings have been in effect this week and everybody has been anxiously talking about it. It's almost as if people forget that we live in the Midwest, because the first few snow/ice storms of the year always seem to be the end of the world. If you're a college student and one of these storms is headed your way or you're in the middle of one right now, you're guaranteed to hear these 25 things from your fellow students.

1. Do you think we'll actually get that much snow? Two feet of snow just sounds too excessive to be true.

2. Have you checked the weather radar recently?

3. What do you think the roads will be like?

4. Will you go to the grocery store with me to pick up food before the storm comes?

5. My professor better cancel class or I'm going to freak out.

6. I hope that I find out class is cancelled soon so I don't have to do this assignment.

7. There's no way I'm walking to class in this weather.

8. Would it be bad if I called campus security to have them pick me up for class? I mean, this is kind of an emergency.

9. Do you think they'll shut down the whole campus?

10. They've only shut down campus twice in the past twenty years, but do you think this will be an exception?

11. My professor is amazing and already cancelled class because he lives so far away.

12. Why is this one professor so committed to having class today? She literally said she'd walk here if she had to. Is she mental?

13. Is it bad if I call work and tell them I can't come in? They should understand right?

14. I might just be lazy and watch Netflix all day.

15. Yeah, I'm staying in bed all day and nobody can stop me.

16. I don't want to move my car off of the street. The street parking is too good to give up.

17. If my car can't make it up the hill I'm going to scream.

18. If my car gets stuck will you help me get it out?

19. Is it lame that I want to go sledding and build a snowman?

20. If I actually went sledding would you go with me? You know it would be fun.

21. I don't want to walk all the way to the cafeteria for food.

22. I know I'm a horrible person for ordering take-out in the middle of the storm, but I'm really craving Chinese. I'll say a prayer for the delivery person.

23. I hate winter so much.

24. When is spring coming back? Oh, it's over two months away? Fantastic.

25. I swear after college I am moving down south where it's WARM and I never have to deal with storms like this ever again.

Good luck out there everybody! You're going to need all of the motivation and good fortune you can get.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
