Snow, Please Go Away

Enough Is Enough

Alright living in New England, you learn to accept that you are going to get snow at one point or another. Here are the five stages of snow.

First snow!

OMG! Yes, it is the first big snow of the winter, which means people forget how to drive, kids get off school leaving parents struggling to find something to do with their kids, and your thinking it's so pretty. I am driving in a winter wonderland and I can build a snowman. It's a perfect day for cuddling up with a book with your favorite blanket. Also, let's not forget it is perfect for those artistic photos that everybody is going to be putting up on Instagram.

Second snow!

Kids get the day off; they get to sleep in, relax, and some are even okay with going outside to shovel. Parents still struggle to find someone to watch the kids since their work shows no mercy for snow. Kids go outside and play. It's still a grand old time.

Third snow!

Alright, it's the third snow; we got this. You're stocked up ready for anything, got all your supplies, and you know you just have to wait it out. Kids get a little harder to deal with and parents just want to ship them back off to school. Kids get bored and out of control, plans get canceled and there's a long list of stuff that happens. This is when you flip from "winter isn't so bad" to "winter is just a mess".

Fourth snow!

Are you freaking kidding me?! This is when the love of snow turns into complete hatred. You become sick of snow and all that it stands for and as you look out on to your yard, you think all this snow will never melt and I am going to die in massive amounts of snow. Don't worry, it will melt. It might stay until next June, but it will melt.

Fifth snow!

That's it, I'm moving to California!

This is the struggle of living in New England during the winter months, but you know, even with all the snow and everything that comes during the winter I would not have it any other way.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
