Negative temperatures, wind chill, frozen hair while walking to class, oh and lets not forget your heat bill making its first appearance! Even those these things are not so exciting, you should really consider yourself lucky to live in a 4 season state! You get to experience every type of lifestyle around the world! The rainy spring, scorching summer, chilly fall, AND frostbiten winter! Okay okay, with all sarcasm and jokes aside we should really take time to appreciate winter for these reasons.
1. You have a real excuse to skip class!!!!!
I mean, not like you ever need one but this is a legit one! Finally professors will expect lesser and lesser students to not be at class. Do you live 10 mins from the building, is it 10 degrees outside with a -30 wind chill? STAY IN BED girl!
2. After finals, time off school to focus on yourself!
Weather your goals are becoming emotionally confident, working on losing weight, or catching up on some sleep, you have the time to do it. You can dedicate some much needed time to do these things before spring semester starts. Change something about you so others are like "DAMN girl your confidence is radiating!"
3. December means winter break!!!!!!!
December for students means a break! Going home for the holidays means home cooked meals, family parties, and presents! It was a long looong fall semester, am i right? We could all use a good month off to relax, catch up on sleep, and spend time with family. But we can't have christmas presents without freezing temperatures and snow now can we??
4. Free time to make some real money!
When finals are finally over you will have all the time in the world to pick up more hours at work! Also, lets not forget about the hours your boss needs you to work during the holidays while people are christmas shopping! Even though its not the funniest thought, hey you need the money!
5.Cuffing season is here!!
Cold temperatures means you need someone to do cute holiday things with like iceskating or snowman building. It means you need someone to make hot chocolate and watch a Harry Potter marathon with when it's snowing! So cuddle up to your favorite person and experience the winter love!
6. Finally, you can experience the giving season!
With all jokes aside, winter is beautiful! Snowfall, lakes freezing over, the lights all around the city, people around you becoming more charitable. Its a season of love and giving and it's something we need more of these days. So enjoy the cold to appreciate the warm seasons and give give give.
