A season not many people like is quickly approaching. Sadly, this is a depressing time for almost everyone: cold, snow, freezing cars, no sun, shovels, and so much more. Winter is a season not many people are so excited over. Here are 10 thoughts people typically have when they know is coming.
1. SNOW DAYS
We all get our hopes up for it. A day of no school because of snow? It's probably the only time we will ever be grateful for it. Snow days can pose a lot of fun: sledding, hot chocolate, and most importantly, a day to spend in your bed with Netflix and pizza.
2. Why do I have to get into a frozen car?
If anyone is like me, they hate cold cars. I feel like the heat never turns on quickly enough in my car, and I sit like an ice cube until I am at my final destination. And then I have to get back out into the cold.
3. Shoveling should just not exist
Any other person out there hate the idea of having to shovel? I personally just pawn it off on everyone else, because I can't stand either being cold and outside, or being a slave to Mother Nature.
4. What Netflix series should I start that will last me all day?
Like I said before, a day with no school is a day for Netflix, so what show should people watch that will last them all day? THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. I can't even decide what to watch when I get a weekend off, let alone something for a full day. Decide wisely, everyone.
5. If I have to go to class, why must I walk around in the snow?
Even being a commuter, I dread this. Walking in the snow and cold is the worst feeling ever' unless you're cold-blooded, then you're fine. Your shoes get wet, your feet get cold, the wind blows in your face, and your nose runs. It's all-around brutal.
6. How do I even dress these days?

7. Is this long, awful season over?
Many of us are probably hoping that winter won't be long this year, that it'll be quick, and not painful. We all imagine the summer, the sun, the beach, walking around in shorts, all of that. So, it wouldn't be a surprise if no one wants winter.
8. At least the holidays are coming up!
Everyone loves the holiday season, so when winter comes, it's almost a bittersweet moment. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and so forth; they'll always cause excitement!
9. If I eat ice cream I'll freeze to death.
I know my favorite treat during anytime of the year is ice cream, but in the winter, I have a love-hate relationship with it. It's so cold to eat, but so satisfying. I can't seem to make up my mind when to eat it, and I know I'm definitely not the only one.
10.It's really beautiful to see the snow on the trees this time of year.
For anyone who loves to take pictures, or anyone who appreciates beauty, you'll all agree with me that in NEPA and Scranton, it looks beautiful when the snow covers the trees. It's just a bright, refreshing sight to the dull winter.
11. I can drink hot chocolate and coffee all day, every day, and be warm.
In the summer I do not like hot drinks. I get sweaty drinking them, so the winter is my time to absorb all the hot drinks in the world and not give a care. My winter go-to is hot chocolate, it's just the perfect topper to a cold day.
