The cold never bothered me anyway. Just kidding!

7 Signs You're Not a Winter Person
Keep Calm O-Matic

Winter is a time for cold weather, snow, and basically the renewal before the warmer seasons each year. Whether you prefer a chilly, but comfortable fall season or a hot summer day, I have created some signs to truly show you the many personal emotions and affects on a cold season.



1. You hate the idea of being cold already

This is only the start of it. You hate being cold anywhere because you may always be cold or take pleasure in a comfortable atmosphere. The idea of blankets, cuddling, or hanging out by a heater bring joy in your life.


2. Snow does not make you happy. At all.

Others think it is pretty or needed to begin the holiday season, but you see NO purpose for snow. As a kid, when your parents forced you into some snow pants to build a snowman or go sledding in the front yard was the worst time of the year. You hate the idea of getting snow in your face, on your winter gear, or even having to step into it.


3. You cancel your plans more often in the winter

Going out is always a fun idea, but when you check the forecast and see below freezing and snow, it brings tears to your eyes. Whether you wanted to show off a cute outfit, hairstyle, or travel somewhere near to you, the cold is a process because you have to bundle up, suffer from the rosy cheeks and runny noses, and the commitment to go from place to place.


4. The idea of of driving sounds like a near death experienceWhat's worse than driving on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart? Driving in the snow. In real life. More car accidents are common in the winter because of snow and ice; getting ready to drive in the winter is an annoying process itself. I mean who wants to take 15-20 minutes scraping ice and snow off our cars while waiting for the heat to kick in? You consistently avoid other cars because it seems like nobody knows how to drive in a crazy atmosphere. No no no.


5. Picking out an outfit to wear is torture

People always say winter is a great time period for your wardrobe because you get to wear cute sweaters and boots, but the process of getting ready and looking presentable gets put off because you would rather look comfy than cute to save yourself from the cold. However since you're such a winter pessimist, more layers are critical and then it goes from there. It starts off with no cute outfits on top of less makeup and effort to not look like you just woke up from sleeping in a cave.


6. You complain more in general

Wind in your face, snow falling, bad drivers, it all seems terrible. You fail to think about positive about the winter season because, well, it sounds depressing and impossible when you have no sunshine, top down, or smooth roadways.


7. Actually pretending to be positive and holding in all of your hatred for the cold

We get it. Complaining is annoying and always not the key response to things, so we try to put it aside to make the best of things because we want to be happy, right? Of course, so get on your snow pants, meet outside, and build a snowman. Or at least try...

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

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

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.

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.
