Snow....

I hate it. I hate being in it, around it, anywhere near it. And I especially hate driving in it when every news station declares that all roads are clear of snow/slush/sludge (whatever you want to call it), when they clearly aren't. I also hate how parking becomes so much more difficult than need be. Especially where I live. And I hate how my hands get so ridiculously cold that my fingers actually hurt, become numb, and feel as if they are going to fall off!

The ONLY thing snow is good for is for snow days. But even now, as a college senior, they aren't as exciting as snow days in grammar school or even in high school. Now knowing the glory of driving and being able to go where you want to go whenever you want to go, you don't want to be stuck in your house because of snow, or because you have to. Snow days aren't fun when you're in college, especially as a college student who goes to Monmouth University. It seems now, and even in the past, maybe I'm wrong about this, but this is my own judgement in what I have experienced...but Monmouth University never seems to close (except for one time ... on Valentines Day). I don't think that they take into consideration that not everyone lives on campus or in that area. Unfortunately I live an hour and 15 mins away, and sometimes I just hate driving all the way down there in snow/slush/sludge for a 45 minute class or a class where I'm only going to hand in one thing and leave. It's a waste of time and gas and money that I don't have.
