LaSalle Explorers Take On Blizzard Jonas
@sergmata

There's no denying that Blizzard Jonas was ready to rock Philadelphia, and though it has brought us hours of shoveling it is safe to say that us Explorers did. it. right. The storm began just after sunset on Friday night, and as the milk and bread became scarce to find, us students began to seek shelter in our dorms, apartments and off campus homes. With great expectations for the storm, we all began to plan where the next day would take us. For some, we Nexflix and chilled, drank hot chocolate and tried to stay away from anything cold. For others we laced up our bean boots, threw on our warmest winter coats and headed down to the nearest frat party to drink the cold away. Jonas brought one hell of a storm, but it couldn't compare to the hell of a party we through back at it.

So I could sit here and describe word by word how the snow day went for us students at La Salle, but GIF's are just SO much more fun.

So let's see...

1. The night before. Get as much alcohol as you can. I mean like, this is a BLIZZARD, who knows when the next time we will be able to leave within walking vicinity. Let's make this one count...

2. We woke up. Everyone's first instinct? Look how much snow this Jonas blizzard brought us. Can we handle it? Yes we can... Let's just see if we can make it out the front door.

3. We got ready. Who cares if we look good, cause we are getting drunk and we don't care what anyone thinks about us. We got our boots, hats, jacket and gloves, grabbed as much alcohol as we could find and got ready to head out.

4. We headed out. I don't think any of us really thought about this part. You mean we actually have to walk through this 10 + inches of snow? Keep calm, more alcohol is in our future.

5. WE MADE IT. Now to look for all of your friends through the flurry's and the basic white girls who all look the same in their beanies, long black parkas and hunter rain boots.

6. Now, the search for bae. Where is he or she? Did they fall into a snow pile? Are they suffocating in that sweaty frat basement? Who cares... I'm next to the keg and that's more important right now.

7. OK, I'm 21 years old, drunk and in a snow storm with all of my best friends? What could get better than this? Let me soak this up and try not to face plant into a pile of ice mixed with yellow snow.

8. It's about that time of the night. We are all wasted and it is time to head to the dining hall. Act natural, and act sober. Oh and don't worry, that ginormous plate of french fries is totally not giving away how drunk you are.

9. RALLY. Get home, dry off, take a nap and get ready to do it all over again tonight. I don't care that you're tired, it's still a Saturday night and us Explorers do not pass up another chance to party.

10. It's all over now. Jonas, you came, you saw, you conquered. Now all we have left is a massive headache and two feet of plowed snow to dig our cars out of. Thank you, Jonas, you've given us LaSallian's some great memories. So how bout a snow day tomorrow, La Salle...We could really use a break.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
