Saturdaze In The Snow

Best day of the week plus best weather condition equals heaven.

Saturdaze In The Snow
Tiffanie Gatch

Saturday is without a doubt my favorite day of the week. My typical work week is chock full of action. Work, gym, entertaining my cat, cleaning my house, etc.

Saturday is for waking up late, eating a big breakfast and laying around. Maybe I'll watch some Netflix, maybe that new Blu-Ray. I may nap or read a book. I can literally do whatever I please. And that's such an awesome feeling.

But, me being me, I decided to hardcore mop and disinfect my floors, vacuum the bedrooms and get that good old fashioned spring cleaning out of the way.

Which wound up being ironic because, when I awoke, a soft dusting of snow was already falling. And an hour later when I ventured out to get a new mop bucket, I was surrounded by soft, gentle flurries that whirled around me as I walked to my car.

And despite the fact that I was inadequately dressed and rather chilly, I had an ear to ear grin on my face.

I love snow. For more reasons than I'll elaborate here. Being from the southern coast means snow is like a Yeti - seen every now and then and questionable at best. It's more like tiny hail. But here in middle Tennessee, it's fluffy, soft, actual snow. And it's the best thing about living in this area.

So, needless to say, this Saturday is even more awesome. And yes, I did make sure to stand in the parking lot while the snow fell and put my hands up into the air and spin around. And I'm sure I looked crazy, I feel certain of that but I have no shame.

Saturdaze are for, I think, being a kid. And in this hectic, stressful adult world, sometimes we just need to be a kid and play in the snow.

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.
