Your survival guide to all things Syracuse

1. It isn't as hot but it is plenty of humid.

The humidity is real. Granted the heat isn't a problem for long, but when it's here you better expect to sweat a lot.

2. Mexican food means something entirely different.

Yes, there is Mexican food, but let's be real. You can't compare it to some good Tex Mex.

3. Come November, you won't see the sunlight after 4:30 p.m.

The sun doesn't stay out until 6:30 pm like it does in Texas, so as a result expect to feel lazy a lot sooner in the day.

4.​ There is a lot of north eastern slang you don't know about.

Here, people say 'tight' when they're mad or call it 'brick city' when it's cold. The slang is hard to catch on to, but you'll get the hang of it

5. The cold is NOT a joke!!

You've probably heard this one a ton, but do not take it lightly. It drops to the thirties in October and the first snow will come soon after. From here it just gets colder so brace yourself!

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
