Because winter is dark, cold, and long.

10 Winter Struggles Of The College Student

Winter may be a favorite season for some people. Yes, making a snowman, wearing a cute sweater, and drinking a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows all sound pretty fun. Also, we all have secretly wished for chilly weather to come during those hot and humid summer days. However, winter is also a dreadfully long season with blizzards and unbearable cold, especially for college students. Here are 10 things that happen to college students during a cold winter season.

1. Hitting the snooze button

Getting out of that cozy, fuzzy, and warm blanket and duvet is a real struggle. Why try to go out of your warm bed to face icy wind?

2. Cold dorm bathroom

After a hot shower when you probably took more time than you needed, walking out to the cold communal bathroom will freeze you.

3. Getting ready for a class with hats, scarves, gloves, boots and puffy coat

Seriously, getting ready to go out takes much more time in winter than summer. Do not show any skin if you want to live.

4. Walking to the lecture room

Was that building this far…? Or did our campus get wider overnight?

<5. Yay snow

Wow, fluffy white snow! I can make snow angels and everything looks so pretty!

5. Never mind, NO snow

Because that white fluffy snow to can change into some black slush so quickly. I mean I want my freedom to have my choice of shoes.

6. Eating in bed...a lot

Because why not watch Netflix, eat chips, and feel warm at the same time? But did I really just finish that entire bag of chips?

7. Walking on the ice

Steps, roads, anywhere you walk...It will be wise to watch your feet.

8. When you wear the wrong shoes for the weather

I guess it was not wise to wear a pair of converse today…Tiptoe all the way if you do not want to shiver with wet feet.

9. Should I work out? Or should I not

The gym is far and the weather is cold… doesn't walking around in the cold weather already burn enough calories?

10. Library..? I will study in bed

I mean just like the gym, everything outside my bed is far...I can do readings in my bed...maybe after this short nap.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
