6 Reasons I Can't Wait For Warmer Weather

Is anyone else just absolutely done with this weather?

Here’s the thing. I’m from Chicago, Illinois, so it isn’t like I’m used to nice, beautiful springs anyways. However, for reasons I can’t quite explain, I was hoping that by leaving the Midwest for college I’d get a glimpse into what spring is supposed to be like. Unfortunately, that has proven to not be the case.

Everyone around campus is still walking around in puffy coats and everyone seems to be complaining about the lack of warm weather. To make it worse, I have a best friend at school in Miami, and if I get one more 80-degree filter snapchat from her I’m going to have to show up at her dorm unannounced and finish the year off there.

However, as I always say, positive thoughts positive outcomes. So, I’m hoping that by writing this article about all the fun things you can do in the warm weather, it’ll be warm by the time this is published. Everyone please say a prayer and think warm thoughts, I’m starting to get really sad over here.

1. Ice cream

To be honest, I eat this 365 days of the year, but it's still more enjoyable when it's warm out and I can eat it outside.

2. Swimming

I'm learning that a lot of the people I go to school with are from the coast and therefore beach people. Personally, I prefer the pool, but either way this still requires warmer weather.

3. Soccer

Whenever it is nice out, my friends and I like to go outside and play soccer and I can't wait for this to happen more frequently because I'm almost always stuck in my night class while they are playing.

4. Clothes

You know how when it starts cooling down people get really ready for sweater weather? Well, I'm usually the opposite and I get really ready for tank top weather.

5. Barefoot

This might be just a personal me thing, but I love running around without shoes on. Or, at the very most, it's best to just slide on flip-flops and be done with it.

6. Driving with the sunroof open

I love blaring my music and driving with the roof open, it just makes the drive so much more enjoyable. Hopefully, by the time I get home, it's warm enough for this. Again, say a prayer please.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
