Hey Winter, I Hate You

Don't even think about coming around this year.

Hey Winter, I Hate You
MMELBYE

There's nothing in this world I hate more than being cold.

I am the person who is always freezing and can wear jeans and a long sleeve in 90-degree weather. I mean, I never stop being cold. So, the fact that November is officially here, means that winter is approaching with its cold dead hands ready to make me hate my life for months on end.

I seriously hate winter.

I hate the sight of snow, I hate that you have to stand out in the freezing cold tundra and brush the snow off your windshield just to be able to drive. I hate that I have to bundle up in a parka and look like Randy from A Christmas Story just to be somewhat comfortable.

BUT THEN, by the time you get to class you are oddly hot because you were so bundled up, but any less clothing and you would have frozen to death. I mean, no one can actually like this weather??? No one can actually be like, "Wow, I love freezing and having to drive in this s#!@!" I am simply not emotionally prepared to have to wake up 20 minutes earlier than I already do and have to drive 20 mph slower because dumb-dumb at the front of the line of traffic thought it was a good idea to not check their tires, or are scared of going the speed limit.

Winter brings out the worst in me. I wish I could be a bear and could sleep throughout the season and wake up when the snow is gone and the sun is finally shining again. I hate that the sky is grey for over 4 months and you maybe get two days of sunshine.

Also, let's not forget about how the snow turns into this brown/grey slush about 10 minutes after it falls and from that point forward it's just grey/brown slush for the rest of winter.

I've never been the type of person who needs snow for it to feel like Christmas. Give me a palm tree, sunshine, and 80-degree weather and I will still have the holiday spirit. I don't need snow or negative 20-degree weather to make me feel like it's the holidays.

I don't need that in my life at all.

Winter makes me cringe. It makes my heart hurt to think about the extreme cold that's about to be plaguing the North. So, I am not ready for winter. I'll never be ready for winter. I am sticking my middle finger to winter right now, wishing somehow I could get it to go away and never return. Here's to wishing for a green Christmas, with no snow, 75-degrees and sunny.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
