"Winter" Quarter? More Like "Hardest, Coldest, Most Rainy" Quarter

We all know the struggle that winter quarter brings

I think we can all agree that, in terms of the most stress and illnesses, the winter quarter sucks.

Davis has so much rain from January through February. So much that this year, they sent out flood warning emails a few days before classes started for the quarter.

Thousands of us struggling to bike all the way to class in the rain. Or walk to class. Even with an umbrella, it's awful. Taking the bus helps, but there's always that one person who will blindly fall into some mud...that person this time was me at 9:30 pm, walking off the bus.

And with the terrible weather, sicknesses somehow spread...fast. Sometimes, we think it's OK to go outside without a jacket...yeah, if you haven't figured this out already - it's bad. Don't do that.

And lastly, for some reason, everyone has more work to do during the winter quarter...or at least it feels like we have more work.

Most students choose to take a lot of units, maybe just to get them out of the way so that their spring quarter can be sunny and easy. But of course, in the time of this precious quarter, we highly regret this decision.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
