10 Thoughts People Have While Running In The Snow

With winter comes snow and incredibly chilly temperatures. Sure, living in the Midwest we should probably be used to this by now, but realistically does anyone ever actually get used to freezing their buns off? Whether you're used to the snow or not, for runners around the Midwest, snow is something they've had to get used to. Lets be real, though—you definitely won't catch me running in the snow, let alone running at all. I don't run, people. But for those who may think about attempting this absurd task, here are 10 thoughts people may have while running in the snow.

Thought #1:

"All right, this isn't so bad. Maybe I'll actually enjoy this run."

You probably won't, but what do I know?

Thought #2:

"OK, it's a bit chilly out here. Might have underestimated the wind."

Never underestimate the wind. Jeez.

Thought #3:

"Really regretting this decision right now. Who let me do this?"

Don't look at me, I told you it was horrible.

Thought #4:

"What was I thinking?"

Again, I warned you.

Thought #5:

"Definitely should have put on another layer... or 12."

Or you could have just stayed in your warm cozy bed like a normal person.

Thought #6:

"Can't feel my toes or my face. Probably have frostbite. Great, I'm going to be toe-less and faceless when I get home. If I ever get home."

Faceless? Is that even a thing?


Thought #7:

"Need to stay positive. Maybe I'll sing some 'Frozen' songs. Let it gooo, let it goooo, the snow never bothered me anyway. Who am I kidding? This snow sucks."

Yeah, like singing "Frozen" when you run is going to motivate you. Ha.

Thought #8:

"I might as well just stop here. I cannot go on."

That's probably a good idea.

Thought #9:

"No. I must go on. I'm almost home. You. Can. Do. It."

Yeah, we'll see about that.

Thought #10:

*Makes it to front yard, falls over into snow*

"I hate everything."

I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so.

And after all this dreadful running you've just put your body through, once you actually make it inside and start to peel off the few layers you put on, it's like waterfalls coming out of your pores. Sweat galore. You may want to just take a minute and sweat it out (pun intended). So if you still haven't decided this whole "running" thing is a bad idea and decide instead to attempt to take on the snow, I wish you the best. I'll be curled up in my warm bed with some coffee not thinking twice about it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
