3 Reasons Why Winter Is The Best
David Creixell Mediante

1. Snow

Let’s be real, nothing can be more beautiful than the ever still and frozen snow. As unmoving and stagnant as snow can be it can’t be matched by any other. The trees bend to its will, and the wind is submissive to carry it wherever it may want to go. Snow is the one type of precipitation that restricts us into the season of Winter. Not to mention that with snow, there can be snowmen, sledding, and a legitimate reason to appreciate and respect the outdoors.

2. Comfort Food

Nothing is more satisfying than sitting down on your favorite sofa with a large bowl of mashed potatoes and a blanket able to keep you nested for the next four hours of laziness. Comfort food gathers whole families and friends together for celebration; it’s not just the Holidays that are justification for feasting, even though they are pretty good reasons. Comfort food brings a sense of warmth and security to everyone when the outside world is covered in a frozen, placed blanket.

3. The Cold

With Winter brings the cold, an unstoppable force that is unpredictable as it is welcomed. Many spite the cold and only wish for summer to last forever, but this is not the case our mother Earth intended. Yes in some spots of the world it is Summer all year long, but you can’t build a snowman with sand and homemade ice cream wouldn’t taste very well with it either. The cold also gives people a good reason to snuggle with loved ones and stay inside to watch the series of Gilmore Girls for the fourth time.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
