The Cold Is Obviously Better Than The Heat

Blast that AC.

The Cold Is Obviously Better Than The Heat

The cold is better than the heat. It just is. There are several examples I can use to back this up.

First, you can always put more clothes on, but you can't avoid the heat. If you're hot outside, you're pretty much stuck. If you are cold, you can wear a jacket or a heated scarf. It's easy enough to work around.

Also, it's great to snuggle up under blankets during the winter. I'm a person who likes being comfortable and wrapped up like a burrito in my blankets when I go to sleep. When you are stuck in the heat at night, it's really hard to sleep. There is a constant struggle of wanting to sleep with a blanket, but sweating like crazy when you try to be comfortable. The heat is not a friend when you are trying to sleep.

In addition, heat just makes people cranky. When you are really hot and can't escape the rays of the sun, you are going to be in a bad mood. You will complain and feel gross because you are sweating through your clothes. In the cold, on the other hand, you may be chilly and running through the cold to get into a building, but people don't complain and get as bitter as much as they do in the sweltering heat.

Of course, I am not overlooking the fact that there are a lot of fun things to do when it's hot out. You can swim, go boating, and go to the beach. Personally, I would rather throw a snowball.

I'm also extremely light-skinned, so for me, heat means sunburn. Sunscreen also feels gross and greasy, so I'd prefer a cool, cloudy day over a bright, hot one.

In the heat, it's a lot easier to get dehydrated too. You have to constantly remember to protect yourself from the sun and drink lots of fluids in the summer, whereas, in the winter, you can wrap yourself in a blanket and drink hot chocolate while you stare out the window at a winter wonderland. To me, that's a lot more appealing.

If you're in a place with no heat, you can wrap yourself up and be OK. If you're in a place with no AC, it's just not going to be a good day. You'll have to deal with the humid air, the constant sweat, the effort it takes to just breathe and the inability to really do anything in your state.

Cold obviously wins out. Who doesn't love comfy sweaters and fluffy socks? To everyone who is like me and loves the cold as opposed to the heat, you know you feel like a human radiator when you go anywhere where people love the heat. It's a struggle when you are somewhere where the heat is turned on high and you feel like laying down and dying. So blast that AC, wrap yourself in blankets, and be the little polar bear that you were meant to be. After all, the cold is superior.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
