Things We Love When the Weather Gets Cold

It never bothered us anyway.

So the weather is getting colder as the days go by, and we can't help but get a little excited about what it brings us! Here are all of the things that make us happy when colder weather comes!

1. Wearing a coat without sweating

We all hate those warm days when it's raining and we have to wear a jacket but we hate to because we're just as soaked inside from sweat as we are on the outside from rain. No worrying about that when the weather gets colder!

2. When your breath makes a cloud for the first time!

I always get really excited when I can see my breath for the first time! I'm not the only one, am I?

3. All the best in shoe fashion.

All of the different kinds of boot options you have are just amazing! I love having a variety to choose from!

4. Sweaters.

Cozy knit sweaters and cardigans are the number one thing to wear when you want to stay nice a warm and super comfy!

5. Hot Drinks!

From a soothing cup of hot tea, to a rich mug of hot chocolate, it just doesn't feel the same in the summer! (Be careful not to burn your tongue!)

6. This one's for the ladies--SHAVING OUR LEGS!

Let's face it ladies, shaving our legs can become quite a hassle. But when the weather gets cold and we wear pants all the time, we get to shave less often and that is such a wonderful thing!

7. All of the soup!

Whether it be the classic chicken noodle soup or an over-the-top recipe, soup is the perfect food to warm us up and keep us full!

8. Getting cozy and reading a good book.

Nothing is better than reading one of your favorite books while it's raining (or even snowing) outside. Makes for a perfect day indoors!

9. Enjoying sitting by a toasty warm fire.

This is seriously the best thing to do on a cold evening. Just relax and stay warm!

10.Frost does look pretty magical...

Just look at it.

11. And it just looks simply enchanting outside!

Whether it's the leaves changing or a winter landscape, the scenery is undeniably beautiful!

12. FUZZY SOCKS.

These are one of my all-time favorite things to wear when it's cold outside! Give me a nice warm pair of wooly socks with a fun print on them and I'll be happy as can be!

13. The first snow of the season!

Admit it, unless you really hate it, you can't contain the excitement that comes with the first snow! (Even if it does melt the moment it hits the ground).

14. Counting down to our favorite holidays!

We can count down to our great Thanksgiving feasts, or get excited over how many Fridays are left until Christmas! Either way it's time to get excited about being able to spend time with those we love the most!

15. Layers upon layers of blankets!

Especially flannel sheets that are so soft and cozy that you never want to get out of bed!

Yes, we can complain about cold weather, but remember: none of these things we love would be really satisfying without it!

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
