11 Signs You're Really Not Ready For The Cold

1. The amount of layers it takes to keep you warm, and then you get to class and you’re sweating and have to spend a few minutes unwrapping yourself.

I mean really, what a pain. You have to layer up to go outside with extra socks, scarves, hats, and gloves and once you get to class you have to rip it all off because you’re sweating your ass off.


2. Because I already run late to work as is, now I have to add in time to defrost my window.

I get up really early to be at work by 6:15 almost every morning. I have the time I have to leave down pat. Now, I have to add an even smaller window of when I can leave and make it on time because who knows how long my windows will take to defrost in my 2005 PT?


3. It’s always dark and depressing.

Ugh, the dark makes me so incredibly tired even if I was previously wide awake. It’s so hard to be completely awake when it’s pitch dark and freezing outside, let alone happy at all.4. Although snow can get you off of class, it also ruins plans.

I think snow is the worst. Yes, the occasional time it gets us out of class is absolutely awesome, but it also ruins my weekend plans, trips, and long to-do lists.


5. There is 100% chance the power will go out at least once.

In high school, the power was out for days at my house. Days. Thankfully we had a nice wood stove, but if we didn’t, we literally would have frozen into ice cubes and I just can’t handle that struggle.


6. There is also a 100% chance I will slip on ice.

That black ice is especially tricky, OK.


7. The lectures from mom.

I’m sure everyone has to deal with this. My mom is constantly on my butt about driving safe, not going out in the snow, and dressing appropriately for the weather.


8. The realization that snowmen and snow angels really aren’t worth all the commitment and effort.

Maybe I am just a party-pooper, but this is just not worth it. Falling into the snow backward and getting your entire outfit soaking wet so you literally freeze, OOOK. Also, snowmen take so much effort and to be honest, I think I always gave up halfway through when he wasn’t round enough.


9.Winter = Christmas music.

Enough said.


10. The pictures of girls in the snow wearing bikinis.

Why is this a thing?

11. It’s harder to get out of bed.

Ugh. I really do have the hardest time getting up when it’s raining but when it's cold...ten times worse. It’s absolutely horrendous.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
