It's not me, it's you.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
