11 Reasons Why Winter Sucks

Winter is typically no one's favorite season. I mean, it's pretty, but I'm sure everyone starts to hate it as it starts to hit negative temperatures toward January. Coming from a college student's standpoint, winter only leads to being cooped up and bored. Here's 11 reasons why winter sucks.

1. You fall (a lot)

Winter means ice. Ice means falling. Falling isn't fun. It never is.

2. You feel like you're going to die outside

The windchill and freezing temperatures make you feel like you are going to pass away as soon as you leave your warm home.

3. You are cooped up

Winter leads to being stuck in your home for the most part. No one really wants to adventure into the tundra.

4. You have to start you car early

Nothing is worse than having to adventure outside just to start you car so you don't freeze or ruin your automobile.

5. People forget how to drive

For some reason every winter people forget basic laws of the road. They'll usually try to justify it as snow, but 9/10 times the roads aren't bad.

6. Your house can actually break

When the hardcore negative temperatures hit, you are at risk of pipes literally exploding.

7. January

This one doesn't really need an explanation. After New Year's Day, January is just the coldest, most bitter month.

8. Winter storms

Speaking for myself, and hopefully others, no one actually enjoys a snow storm.

9. Everything's like the dead

All of the vegetation for the most part becomes lifeless and gloomy. It gets old after a while.

10. Black ice

My biggest fear. You'll be going 10 miles an hour and suddenly you're in a ditch.

11. Boredom

Winter just bores people. It's nice and fun around Christmas, but then it loses its charm. There's just nothing to do when it's freezing.

There are plenty of reasons why winter sucks, but these were the first to come to mind. Winter is cool from the warmth of your house, but besides that it just sucks. Luckily it only last four months and then we can finally leave our homes. Just take advantage of your house time by finishing your Netflix queue.

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.

University of Vermont

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.
