Springing Into A New Season

Winter is finally over!

Springing Into A New Season
andreea/DesktopWallpaper4.Me

Here in the Midwest, we've had about the weirdest Sinter any of us have had in a very long time. Never mind that in February, as Sarah's Scribbles points out, we had temperatures hot enough to justify an ice cream. Some days, it would be sunny and warm. Other days, it would be cold, sometimes rainy. We even had a bit of snow in March. Regardless, it was a far cry from the standard Midwest Winter, which is basically being in a freezer combined with endless gray skies. A perfect recipe for depression.

But, now we're into Spring. Here are some tips to learn (or relearn) now that we're in the best season of the year:

Be grateful. I get it, it sucks to be in the rain. It drains your energy, makes being outside miserable, and if it doesn't produce that wonderfully earthy and clean smell, it's not fun. However, have you noticed how green it is outside? Didn't it seem wonderful to see green grass for the first time in months? For once, the weather is lining up with how we normally process the season. If we can hold out and not encounter a freak snowstorm in the next several weeks, we should be alright.

Get some swimming in. Now that the weather is good again, it's soon time for swimsuit season! And despite the Internet going to war against trolls again, this time over Amy Schumer being photographed in a swimsuit, just remember to enjoy the weather and the chance to be in the water again. Besides, since the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid won't be out for a while, this will have to suffice. (Though, whenever someone decides to poo-poo your decision to put on a swimsuit, it will always be appropriate to sing this to their faces.)

Ready your playlist. Speaking of singing, there's nothing wrong with getting your music ready for the good weather. If you've ever looked at movies and pop music, May is the prime month for the "Summer season", and this year is no exception for movies. With music, recall Katy Perry's sunniest hits (and start debates with your friends about her new single); be excited that Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys is releasing a new solo album (and remember that he produced an unsung Summer anthem by Lana Del Rey); and ready your arguments that the best Song of the Summer of this decade was made by Demi Lovato. Also, hold your breath in anticipation for Lorde to finally release her second album!

That should do for now. Now that it's April, there's no excuse to not be outside absorbing some Vitamin D, feasting on ice cream, and complaining about global warming making your life miserable. Until then, rejoice!

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.

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.
