Ready for Sweater Weather

While everyone is saying goodbye to summer, shorts and flip-flops, the soon-to-be normal has some positives and negatives.

Most people are getting excited for the Fall weather and all that comes with it, but it's not all smooth sailing.

The Good

Fall food and drinks: Everyone loves a good warm drink to beat the cold.  Whether you're a coffee drinker and are excited for your seasonal treats, or you're ready for a good warm cup of hot chocolate, these will be necessities when the weather quickly drops.  If you are getting hungry, try a hot bowl of soup it will be sure to hit the spot.

Clothing: It's time again to whip out your boots and scarves that have been in hiding over the summer. Soon it will be time to break out your coats and bundle up. Layers are always key.

Bonfires: It is a great time of year for the perfect bonfire.  Just cool enough that the fire can keep you warm, but not too cold to stand outside.

Snow: The first snow of the year is so beautiful and full of excitement.  Everyone becomes a kid again and people act as if they haven't seen snow their whole lifves.


The Bad

Classroom heat: Nothing is worse than dressing for the weather and then walking all the way across campus into a sauna.  All the buildings are so hot that you have to strip down out of all of your layers to be comfortable in class.

Chapped lips and dry skin: It's not a question if you have chapstick and lotion because the cold, dry air is cracking your skin.  Sandpaper hands are no ones favorite part of cold weather.

Snow: When it has snowed so many times and the temperature is barely bearable, no one wants to see any more snow.  If it isn't going to get us out of class, which is more often then not, then it's just making things on campus more difficult.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
