How To Prepare For A New England Snowstorm

Something that really sets New England apart from the rest of the country is our crazy weather. We've seen it all: hurricanes, tornadoes, snow in October, snow in April, 60 degrees on Christmas, and 70 degrees in February. The weather here is about as bonkers as the people who reside here. Although we avoided it for as long as we could, the weekly Nor'easter's have made their return. To all of my fellow winter homebodies, follow these steps to make sure that you get the most out of your snow day.


1. Check the weather channel.

You need to know what you’re in for. New England weather is extremely unpredictable, so you need to stay updated to see exactly how miserable you’re going to be.


2. Prep your house appropriately.

Drive on over to Home Depot and get yourself a power generator. How are you going to watch your programs if you don’t have power?


3. Prep your car appropriately.

You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to get your Dunkin' in the morning. There are no excuses.


4. Stock your fridge.

Enough said.


5. Make a list of all of the shows that you need to catch up on.

It’s February, which means that all of your favorite TV shows just had their winter premieres. That means you’ve got to reserve your comfy spot on the couch and watch the most recent episode of "Grey's Anatomy." Or you can watch the last few (eleven) seasons. Who am I to judge?


6. Save a note with all of your witty blizzard tweets and Instagram selfie captions so that you’re ready to go.

It’s your time to shine. Everyone’s going to be snowed in and constantly refreshing their social media, so you can’t disappoint.


7. Sit back and relax.

It’s finally here. Break out your snuggie and park it on the couch with your favorite foods and drinks (after you get that perfect "look at the snowflakes in my hair" selfie, of course) and enjoy it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
