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.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
