Top five reasons why snow is awesome.

It’s that time of the year finally, finally snow has fallen and everyone have instantly forgot how to drive, or makes you question if they even took drivers education…and passed. Snow is awesome. Really it is, let me list a few reasons why it is so great.

1.Christmas

The majority of people always say they want snow on Christmas, or it doesn’t feel like Christmas without snow on the ground. People like to wake up on Christmas morning, look outside and see the snow falling while they remain in their pajamas and prepare for a nice long lazy day with family.

2. Snowboarding/skiing

It is fantastic, and it gives people something to look forward to aside from snow on Christmas. It is nice and fun to have an activity that involves a lot of snow.

3. Food

Delicious soups, chilies and grilled cheese with tomato soup is the best thing on this planet when outside is covered in snow. Think about it, you get a nice hot bowl of soup you then walk by the window where it's cold and snowy on your way to sit on your cozy warm and comfy spot on the couch while watching a movie or TV show.

4. It is beautiful

I can’t tell you the number of times I have stopped and just looked around and took in all the wonderful sights, from downtown areas to countryside landscapes. From looking out at night and seeing how the snow somewhat has a blueish glow to it due the moon and the stars to the morning sunrise where the snow glistens everywhere it lays.

5. People’s good hearts

One of my favorite things about snow is in most cases it brings out the kind hearts in people, even someone you would never expect to do a good deed goes ahead and surprises you. What I am talking about is people whose cars end up in ditches and minor accidents. I have been late for work countless times because I spent time pulling over and helping people out of ditches. It is the best thing in the world, I feel, when you help someone, and they are grateful and even certain times give you a hug. I remember one of my friends and I went into a ditch out in the country, and we had no idea how we were going to get the car out of the ditch. Someone we did not expect to stop and help showed up, and I will never forget what he said, “No thanks needed; this is why I am out now. Looking for people who need help.” Best thing ever.

Snow brings a lot of con’s, and I understand why some people do not like it, but for those who do like it and those on the fence these are some good reasons why snow is great and why some people love it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
