Snow

I really really really want snow.. i love it. I do like it better when I'm home cause I don't have to walk to class in it, but i don't mind it that much out here. I love it, but I do tend to get pissed at everyone complaining about how it snows in November or even October up here, well its upstate what did you expect.. sorry, not really. We really only have to deal with a couple weeks of snow if that before we leave for christmas break so i think everyone should just enjoy it, especially if they don't get much of it where they live.
I don't think I could ever live in the south or somewhere it doesn't snow because in my mind you needdddd snow on christmas, if you don't have snow on christmas then it just doesn't feel right.
I also love to ski and snowboard so that makes snow that much more appealing..

Thanksgiving

I think it's safe to say that no one wanted to come back after thanksgiving break, you just start to get comfortable being home again and then you have to come back to a ton of work. I think it's kind of dumb to make us come back for two weeks of classes, obviously I would love it if break started at thanksgiving, ha.. won't happen, but its wishful thinking.
Anyways, I love thanksgiving and seeing everyone, not only family but friends. Thanksgiving is usually the first time I get to see everyone that I haven't seen in awhile, it's really great cause everyone is so excited just to be home and around familiar faces. Thanksgiving is always crazy at my house, not the dinner part, but dessert is like all hell breaking loose, my mom is one of 8 and all my aunts, uncles and there many kids pile into our tiny house and get drunk and yell at the tv about who missed a tackle, or what a crappy pass that was.. its crazy at times, but i wouldn't want it any other way.

Syracuse Basketball

Syracuse basketball started yesterday with their first scrimmage and they won. I didn't get to watch it because I couldn't find it out here, at home its on Time Warner Sports Channel, maybe we have that here.. i don't know. So I got to hear all about the game from my dad, for some parts I was on the phone with him and he would give me the play by play but most the time he would just call me if something good happened.
There are supposed to be some really good freshmen coming in this year, a lot of top recruits. There are also some veteran players back, like Eric Devendorf and Andy Rautins, and some players that were injured last year are now able to play this year which is nice.
My whole family is crazy about Syracuse basketball, my grandpa for the longest time had season tickets, but now he just goes every once and a while with us.
My dad is so excited, he's already trying to plan out what games we want to get tickets to... but everyone wants to see different teams, like my dad wants to see them play nova, and my brother wants to see Marquette and the Georgetown game is on my birthday this year.. tough choices.

Naps

I would not be able to get by in college without naps.. it's sad but I have to take a nap usually everyday and when I'm don't you can tell. I'll be on the phone with my boyfriend and i'll be grumpy and he'll be like "I think you better go lay down and sleep for awhile" its bad..
I don't even have that hard of a schedule, on Mondays and Wednesdays I'm done with classes at 11.. i go back to my room and usually sleep until 5 or 6. Tuesdays and thursdays im not so lucky, im not done til later but i'll take a nap until night time.. I can fall asleep so easily, whenever I watch a movie I always fall asleep.. and then I can fall asleep at night to even though I've slept most of the day away.
When I go home I don't sleep as much because my parents won't let me, they think i'm being too lazy.. which I know I am... my boyfriend won't let me nap either, he hates just sitting around, he'll make me go outside and actually see sunlight and do things.. when I would much rather just sleep all day.

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, its just so much fun as a kid or as an adult.. you get to dress up, and get free candy well if your still a kid.
I also love how everyone gets all into decorating, my mom really does and she loves to dress up. I can remember one time when I was little and my mom dressed up as a witch, with this wicked ugly green warty nose and when she came downstairs my little brother would not even go near her. He cried and cried until my dad took him out to go trick or treating and my mom stayed at the house.. poor thing. She never dressed up like that again..
One thing I don't like so much about Halloween is the shaving cream, and toilet paper and eggs. I think it's ok for kids if they want to shaving cream each other but I don't think eggs are necessary.. I know some people in my hometown have been known to freeze their eggs and throw them at people, which im sure hurts like hell.. people have also put pee into squirt guns and ride by in cars and squirt people and kids have also filled water balloons with nair, which is crazyyyness.. I think its gotten out of hand
Halloween is not meant for people to get covered in gross things, its to dress up and have fun
