1. The Cold

I am one of those people who prefer the cold over the heat any day! I’ve rather be bundled up in layers in the chilly weather than be melting in the humid heat.

2. Christmas

How could you not love Christmas? It’s the most wonderful time of the year spending time with loved ones plus there’s tons of food, presents, and joy.

3. The Beautiful, Fluffy Snow

The soft delicacy of the snow just amazes me with its beauty as it falls. It’s such a beautiful sight to watch from my window and to wake up to.

4. Ice-Skating Season

I’ve always loved watching figure skaters skate gracefully on the ice. It's astonishing how they perform their tricks so smoothly. You don’t need to be a pro to ice skate. Ice-skating is a lot of fun honestly even for a beginner. You may fall several times, but keep getting up and you’ll get the hang of it.

5. There are no bugs

I hate mosquitoes, bees, or any type of bug. Anytime I’m stung, I always end up with an insane inching bite the size of my thumb. I know bugs are essential to nature, but come on. One season without them is paradise for me.

6. Hot cocoa

Hot cocoa with marshmallows is essential during the cold season. The chocolatey warm beverage keeps you warm and cozy and making you feel like a kid again.


7. Snow Days!

No matter what school year you are in, hearing that a big snow storm is in the weather forecast only gives you one thought “NO SCHOOL!” Instead of having to commute in the mess, you get to enjoy it.

8. Winter Break!

As a college student, winter break is always anticipated by us. The one month of no class is just a blessing. No homework, more sleep, Christmas, vacation, and so on. It’s literally the greatest time of the year.


9. My Birthday

*cough cough* I was born in the midst of a big snowstorm. I’m basically a winter baby at heart, which explains my cold soul. I’m just kidding or am I?

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.
