A Glimpse Of Summer In The Winter...

One of the best feelings in the world is waking up on a beautiful seventy-degree morning in the middle of February after a snow storm two days prior. People hanging out of their balconies with their friends, laying on the quad doing homework while playing the newest country hits, playing catch along the streets and soaking in the much-needed vitamin D.

Although you may have class, you spend every minute you can outside. You see people that you normally don't hang out with and wind up doing work with them at a picnic table and meet new people that you have never seen before walking around campus. It is a day of friends, homework and the needed sunshine that you haven't seen all winter.

It is a tease for the upcoming days in the spring semester that we have yet to encounter. You face the temptation of not going to class and soaking up every minute this day has to offer. Peoples attitudes change. You see the people that are normally cooped up in their 4 by 4 dorm room playing fortnite with eight of their closest friends playing catch with a football outside their dorm. You see the gym rats outside running around campus instead of inside the weight room. You even see the teachers holding class outside because we all know living in New England is unpredictable and the forecast for tomorrow is probably cloudy and 41 degrees. Although we may not have many of these days in the winter, they bring classmates and friends closer together and give us a glimpse of what is yet to come.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
