10 Reasons We Can't Stand Winter

In summer it's too hot, but once winter comes around, my gosh, we can't stand the dark afternoons, and nearly below freezing temperatures. We can never win, can we!? With the thick of winter approaching, I know I'm not the only one who's wanted to toss a punch mother nature's way. Here are just a few of the innumerable amounts of times we've had a little extra hate towards winter.

1. Loading Up On Layers.


Jackets were never designed to fit five layers underneath them, never mind just two. It's physically impossible. Yes, I want to be able to move my arms, and no my goal is not to look arguably 400 pounds. Nope, I just won't do it, you can't make me.

2. Ice

I hate it, you hate it, we all hate the invisible life ruiner that can send your "strut-walking-to-class" confident self falling; no pun intended. Get ready friends, brace yourself, you will be okay, you're not alone.

3. Tis' the Season To Be Sick.


I never want to see another box of Kleenex, bag of Halls, or bottle of Nyquil ever again, kapeesh?

4. Losing Feeling Everywhere.

No, it wasn't the botox it was the two degree weather you just trudged through. You can't smile, you can't send a text under five minutes; the possible becomes impossible, my friends. You know what I'm talking about.

5. Serious Warm Weather FOMO.

Winter break means countless amounts of Instagram posts of your friends on some tropical island. I don't know how much longer I can live vicariously through social media; help.

6. The Lack of Motivation is Real.

It's too cold to do anything; AKA I will not leave my room until winter is over: happy hibernation people, let the food babies grow bigger, and the day light become dimmer.

7. Getting Up in the Morning is 100x Harder.

Kudos to the early risers, but I, myself, have found getting out of bed in the morning to easily be one of the toughest challenges of the day. During the summer or spring, sure, there's a little more purpose to get up and out on nice days; winter? no thank you. No one likes stepping out of bed onto cold floor, with cold feet, and by now you probably have a cold heart too. Don't feel ashamed.

8. Cleaning off Your Car.

The gif speaks for itself, my friends. No one's a fan.

9. Nothing is Pleasant.

Never mind having to clean off your car, what about walking to your car? Waiting for it to warm up? Just stepping outside for anything in general? Yup.

10. Sinking in Snow.

Taking that first step and suddenly you're not only knee deep in snow, but your boots are filled with it, your legs are soaked by it, and your mood is ruined because of it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
