Winter Life On Campus

You have to wake up earlier than usual, leave your room earlier if you want to make it on time and not fall on your commute

Winter Life On Campus

The first snowfall

If you’re like me, you wait in anticipation for the first snow of the new school year. Here at Augie, it snowed late December 3, and into the early morning and afternoon. Waking up and seeing freshly fallen snow is the best and of course, taking pictures of how beautiful your campus is!

Walking to class

You have to wake up earlier than usual, leave your room earlier if you want to make it on time and not fall on your commute. Also, its freezing, and if you didn’t wear the proper clothing, your entire body is frozen.

Clothing

Break out those winter jackets, boots, hats, gloves, scarves, everything, because its about to get cold. Another thing that sucks is that winter clothing is more expensive than spring or summer clothing.

Getting out of bed

You make yourself so comfortable and warm, and when your alarm goes up, you don’t want to leave your blanket burrito. The struggles of waking up are so real in the winter.

Fire Alarms suck

Fire alarms suck in general, but if you have to evacuate, you better throw on some warm boots and wrap up in a blanket because who knows how long you’re going to be waiting.

All the seasonal drinks

If you have a coffee shop on campus or nearby, it’s finally time to indulge in all of your favorite holiday drinks like peppermint hot chocolate or white hot chocolate (my personal favorite)

The reminder that break is soon

With winter, we’re reminded that Christmas break is soon, and who doesn’t love break? Spending time with family and not worrying about classes for a while.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
