Being cold all the time is so not "lit"

17 Totally Uncool Struggles Of Being Perpetually Cold

While sitting wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot coffee, wearing two pairs of leggings, three pairs of socks, and an itchy wool hat and scarf (inside the "comfort" of my home), I thought to myself, "It's too cold to think."

For those of us who prefer being warm over being cold, winter brings additional daily hurdles to overcome: getting out of bed, having to go outside and wishing you never left your bed, and spending the rest of your day thinking how warm your bed is. All energy is spent trying to keep warm.

Being perpetually cold is a challenge only made more burdensome by winter's bone numbing temperatures. For those of you who are perpetually cold like myself, know that you are not alone in this winter. For those of you who are always warm, read this article and learn the signs:

1. Not being able to move because of the amount of layers you have on

2. When you're not sure if you're crying because you're upset that it's cold or if you're crying because the cold air making your eyes water

3. Your outfit inspiration is always, "It's cold outside."


4. Needing a cuddle buddy for warmth and winter survival purposes

5. Seriously contemplating carrying your blanket with you to public places

This guy might be violating social norms, but I bet he is warm and not regretting his decision in the slightest.

6. Buying coffee to keep your hands (or feet) warm

7. Wishing you were a cat so you could lay on your warm laptop

8. Or a bear so you can sleep through the winter season


9. Needing this mug as a formal apology

It's hard to play it "cool" when you're angry and cold. (I'm sorry for that pun--I was cold).

10. The most romantic relationship in your life is between you and your electric blanket

11. Having to mentally prepare for the journey between your bed and the shower

12. Not wanting to touch anything you know is going to be cold

13. Looking up pictures of tropical islands on the Internet and wishing you were there

14. When someone with cold hand or feet touches you, it just about ends your friendship

15. Never having plans because you refuse to leave your house

16. People ignoring you because you keep complaining about being cold

17. Checking the temperature and saying:

P.S.

While it's funny to joke around about the "struggles" of being cold, I just want to remind you, whoever is reading this, even if you are truly freezing, there are people who don't have electric blankets, a fourth pair of socks, or even a jacket to wear during the winter season.

Here is one example of a place to donate to someone in need, among many other wonderful organizations.

Warmth is a condition of the body, as well as the heart.

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.

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.
