WARNING: Spring Fever Is Coming

Don't let yourself catch it

WARNING: Spring Fever Is Coming
Murphy Chamber of Commerce

Ah, it is now the time of year where everyone is in a bad mood. The Groundhog has seen his shadow as per usual, and six more weeks of winter is officially ahead of us. We can thank Punxsutawney Phil for taking away the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is the time where the Spring semester has gotten rolling, but it still feels like the middle of fall semester. Life moves slow, but we move fast, because if we're outside for too long we may freeze to death.

TIP: If it is suddenly 60 degrees one day, DO NOT LET THIS FOOL YOU. I can guarantee you the next day it will return to an arctic temperature. Never let yourself get too excited on days like this, because this is how Spring fever sneaks up on you.

I think I would rather have this year's flu than Spring fever, because at least the flu ends. Spring fever sticks around until you feel mentally insane and have given up on all things productive in you life.

Our restless behavior at the thought of warm weather and happiness can be too much. The arrival of Spring has a similar feeling to running on a treadmill with a cookie hanging from a string in front of you. No matter how much you run, it's still going to be out of reach. Us college students need to stick together, and help each other survive this terrible fever. It's the only way to get out alive. We can't let ourselves get too excited just yet, because that is like handing yourself Spring fever and setting yourself up for failure. Winter depression is not over yet folks; we must power through until the temperature exceeds a consistent 60 degrees. Keep working hard, and get a little more use out of those winter jackets. Just a few more weeks to go.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
