Do you find yourself dreaming of warmer weather? Checking the calendar for the countdown till spring break? Do you often catch yourself scrolling through pictures of tropical landscapes? If so, you may suffer from...

SPRING FEVER

Luckily, I can help you fix that.

1. Plan a short trip somewhere warm for late February or early March. This does NOT have to be for spring break. Just take an impromptu trip to visit a friend who goes to school in Florida, or that distant cousin in California. Find the cheapest and easiest way to escape for the weekend.

2. Find your inner fitness junkie and join a swim class or yoga class. A swim class will remind you of bikini season and warmer months ahead, a yoga class will soothe your mind and put you at ease. When you are feeling tension and anger at the world's climate, physical activity can really help.

3. Plan a week long spring break trip. Instead of staying home, save up money for a fantastic but relaxing spring break trip. Consider ditching the typical 'party' spring break plans, for a weekend at a spa in southern California. Trust me, it will be way more fun and about the same price.

4. Start planning your summer closet. This spring and summer is going to be a colorful and patterned season in the fashion world. Plan ahead and start stocking up -- don't even look at the rack of clearance sweaters.

5. Apply for a job that is outside this summer. So working isn't super fun, but if you have to work, you may as well work outside in the sun and warmth. This will give you a chance to soak up the beautiful weather before the school year again.

6. CLEAR OUT YOUR LIFE. Yes, spring clean. Call your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa and ask for their advice on how to de-clutter your room and life. No, you do not need that spring break shirt you won at a bar in Miami from Freshman year.

7. Go outside. Yes, the weather still sucks. On the small chance it doesn't one day, use that opportunity to take a 5 minute walk.

8. Try something new. From a new class or subject to reading a new book, this can leave you feeling accomplished and satisfied.

9. Branch out socially. You have like 200 people total in all your classes, try branching out and talking to someone new. No, your best friend doesn't count.

10. Focus in school. This will at least help you in your future and when you have to be an adult down the line. LOL.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
