Because the weather is a little odd in CNY.

Ah yes, the beautiful Syracuse, N.Y., centrally located in the Empire State, that's adorned with salt potatoes, Jazz Fest, and Syracuse basketball. At first glance, Syracuse may seem like a gorgeous place to live and at times, yes it can be.

But winter is a weird, seemingly never-ending time here in Central New York. And the rest of the seasons aren't much better. Spring never shows up and goes straight to summer, and summer gets in the way of fall. Traditional seasons? Not here in CNY.

New York just does what it feels like and goes with the flow, much to everyone's chagrin. Sometimes we even skip over seasons and go straight to six months of snow and ice. If you don't live in NY, maybe now you can understand why we are always constantly complaining and asking ourselves these questions.

1. The weather can be beautiful, except when it's not.

Syracuse has this weird paradox about it where the sun could be shining and the sky could be free of clouds, but it's still as cold as the South Pole and windier than Chicago. Which then leads to the question...

2. How do I even dress for this weather?!


Am I supposed to wear shorts? A t-shirt? A parka? WHO EVEN KNOWS

3. Is that snow or am I just hallucinating?


It's probably snowing. I just don't want to admit to myself that it's snowing yet again.

4. Should I even look at the weather report any more or am I just going to be disappointed again?

The weatherman said it was going to be partly cloudy with sun today. It decided to rain instead. Why do you crush my hopes and dreams, weatherman?

5. Oh good, I can't wait to experience winter for the 33rd time this year. Hopefully spring will be back next week.

HAHAHAHAHAHA not. Spring is never coming and we'll probably just skip right to summer.

6. Do seasons even exist in this damn state? I don't think seasons exist.

I haven't seen them since '03 so lemme know if anyone finds the seasons that we still apparently have.

7. If science didn't prove global warming to me, this extreme weather sure did.

Bring the non-believers to New York and see how quickly they change their minds.

8. Why did I take my winter clothes home? Winter doesn't 100% go away until late May.

This thin cardigan ain't protecting me from NOTHING. I am a fool, a DAMNED FOOL.

9. How are those guys walking around in basketball shorts and t-shirts? How do you live? TELL ME YOUR SECRET.

Like seriously, do boys not feel temperature? Do their toes not get cold? Teach me how to stay warm through anything.

10. Everyone wonders why New Yorkers are so cranky sometimes. This is why. This is exactly why.

The weather has taken my soul away from me. I no longer possess it. It does not exist. Carry on and let me be miserable.

11. I've just given up drinking weather appropriate drinks. I'll drink iced coffee even in -10 degree weather because CNY weather has taken my soul.

Yeah I know it's freezing cold and my hands should be frostbitten by this point, but IDGAF. Carry on.

12. I don't think my body will ever acclimate to any other sort of weather pattern ever again.

My body can't handle constant changing weather but it somehow can't handle consistency either? CNY has scarred me for the rest of my life.

13. Oh look, it's snowing again. What joy.

That's a good question, Frank. The world may never know.

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.
