This is the background you need to know in order to understand this post. It is April. It is snowing in Western New York. This is oppressive. We are being punished. It is inequitable and unjust. Now here are five ugly Renaissance babies who set the tone for my bitterness.

1. When you need a lift and it's too icy to drive

The worst part of never-ending winter is the driving. It is horrible just to slide across the ice walking, let alone barreling down the road at 55mph.

2.When you wake up and look out the window and see that snow flurry greeting you

The dread that fills your soul as you wake up to see bleak, gray skies, and snow flurrying around is beyond measure. You know how you felt in the second Hunger Games book when you realized Katniss was going for the Hunger Games round two? Yeah, that's the level of dread.

3. When you are trying to stay warm but all your winter clothes are boxed away

There is nothing more disappointing than breaking out your floral button ups and lacy dresses and having to cover them up with clunky cardigans and not quite warm enough jackets. Or even worse, you just continue to wear your winter clothing.

4. When they claim it's Easter but it's seeming more like Christmas

Nothing is more horrific than waking up on Easter morning to see large, heavy snowflakes murdering your tulips. Nothing.

5. When you slip and fall into a snowbank and you decide life is suffering

There's the point when you just give up and decide, this fate, and you must suffer. This is heightened when your work or school is out of salt and the ice is everywhere and you become one with the snow that is, in fact, colder than the air. Life becomes suffering, everything is suffering, I'm cold.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
