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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
