25 Thoughts That Every UW-Madison Freshman Has During The Winter

Taylor Lauri

Does anyone really know what they're getting themselves into when coming to the University of Wisconsin? No. As a freshman, we convince ourselves that it's not that bad and that it will get better. None of us were ready for -64 degrees, mentally or physically. Every day is a new adventure. Will it be slippery today? Cold? Hot? Snowing? Hailing? No one knows!

From November to April, the weather just does its own thing. One day it could be 35 degrees and the next day, it could be -20 with a windchill of -40 degrees. Sounds like fun! These are the inner thoughts that every student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has on a day to day basis from November to April.

1. How did I even get up this morning?

One cup of coffee is just not enough for Monday morning. This size cup should do!

2. Sweatshirt, jeans and duck boots it is!

Today is just not the day to dress up, maybe tomorrow!

3. Why did I chose this school again?

I don't even know what went through my mind when I chose this school.

4. Why?

Why? Why is there ice on the ground?

5. Is it time to go home now?

Um I need a break and I need to go home!

6. I'm getting a hot chocolate after this!

I'm getting an extra extra extra large hot chocolate!

7. Only 40 days until spring break! Woo!

Soon i'll be somewhere tropical (or at home).

8. Are my boogies really frozen right now?

Is this even possible?

9. Okay I don't care how slow I walk, I am not falling down Bascom today! Not today!

You can walk around me, I'm not going any faster than this!

10. Is it even this possible to be this cold?

I can't feel my legs, my ears or my entire body.

11. Again, why?

Just why?

12. Should've brought my hat today

I cannot feel my face right now, a hat would be nice!

13. As soon as I'm done with class, I'm sprinting back to my room and watching Netflix.

Netflix marathonnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!

14. This is ridiculous

This is just not ok at all.

15. There's no point of taking off my coat in class

There's just no point if it takes me like 50,000 minutes to put it on at the end of class.

16. Really? -64?

I didn't even know that it was possible to get this cold.

17. I just don't understand

I have no words.

18. Alabama gets a snow day and we're still getting frost bite walking to class?

It snows an inch in Alabama and they get a snow day?

19. I'm ordering in food, I can't go outside

How much food can I eat?

20. Hopefully I don't slip this time!

I've slipped like 5 times on the way here so hopefully I don't slip again!

21. For the last time, why?

?????

22. I'm not ready for this

I have to physically and mentally prepare myself for what I am about to take on.

23. Next semester, I'm transferring to the University of Hawaii

Catch me not in negative degree weather this time next year!

24. Is this what frostbite looks like? Probably. I have frost bite

I don't know what frostbite looks like but I'm almost certain this is.

25. NOPE!

Absolutely not.

15 Mind-Bending Riddles

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
