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.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
