The worst part about going to school in a place like Kentucky is the weather. You never know what to expect, in the middle of December it may be 80 degrees, in the middle of July is might only hit 60.

While some of this weather may be beneficial there is nothing worse than snow in Spring and every college student I know has the exact same thoughts about this.

1. It was 70 and sunny two days ago

Less than 48 hours ago you were pulling out your Chacos, hanging up your Eno and slapping on the tanning oil. Now you are dressed head to toe in down feathers and living with a fear of slipping on ice.

2. I already put away my winter clothes

Those few days of warm weather and a trip to the beach for spring break had you convinced it was the end of parka season. You now spent your morning digging through your closet for your snow boots and searching under your bed for your warmest scarf.

3. Do I really have to go to class?

There is something about sunny days that make you want to get up and get outside. But the second those temps drop, going to class seems like the worst idea you have ever heard.

4. Why didn't we have a snow day?

The inch of snow on the sidewalks could cause some serious hazards on our way to class. Come on, why are you risking the safety of your students?

5. How many weeks until summer?

All the sudden the Spring semester seemed to get a whole lot longer. Someone start a countdown on their phone because if this snow sticks around any longer I'm not sure we will make it.

There's nothing better than coming back from spring break bronzed and refreshed just to have to throw on your parka again. So please Kentucky, I ask for all the students here at UK, start bringing back the sun!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
