The Struggles Of Being A Weather Friend...

We aren't superheroes, we are WAYYYYY cooler, AND yes that's me on the far left.

The Struggles Of Being A Weather Friend...

Last weekend was the biggest weekend outside of football games on Saturdays, at the University of Oklahoma. Living in the weather capital of the world is pretty cool. One of the things they don't tell you when studying meteorology is that it is WAYYYY TOO FREAKING HARD. They compare this degree to astrophysics. It does have some pretty cool advantages though.

LIKE DRESSING UP LIKE A SUPERHERO!

It's actually kind of like this, honestly. It isn't easy either putting up with little brats all day with grimy hands.

SOOOOOOO... you can see the problems here. One thing nearly five thousand people don't realize is, we are just as uncomfortable as you are, so don't make this any more awkward than it has to be.

Granted, I love talking to kids, just not the bratty ones that like to put Cheeto fingers all over me, or the ones that like to boss me around, like KID I'M OLDER THAN YOU!

There are so many struggles of being a "weather friend" that I have yet to mention.

This is where it gets really good!

Something I incur every time I put on my cape, it tries to kill me at least once, if not multiple times throughout the event. Could possibly be someone stepping on it, I get it caught in a door but hold a moment. This is the funniest one because you should see my face after this one... A KID PULLS ON IT. ACTUALLY YANKS ME BACKWARDS!

After enduring the amount of pain and suffering I do for the crazy weekends like these, you would think that the bad outweighs the good. In reality though, no matter how many yanks, how many Cheeto hands get put on my pants, it doesn't outweigh my love for weather and telling everyone about it.

Update: I got the stomach flu...

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
