Reasons to Love the Winter Season

It happens once a year. The weather becomes cold and snowflakes fall from the sky. Everyone is in their warm clothes and trying to survive the 20-degree weather. It happens in the months of December and January and it’s called Winter.

Winter season is among us and there’s some many things to look forward to the cold and glorious season.

After the fall comes in and takes all the leaves from the trees and leaves the branches bare, winter comes in and puts ice on the branches. In addition to the ice, snow also becomes a part of the trees as well as the grass.

With the new addition of the snow, people join the winter wonderland. Kids and even adults participate in the annual snowball fights. Individuals likewise make snowmen and snow angels to display on their front and backgrounds.

The one great thing about the winter season is the holidays. People get to celebrate Christmas as well as New Years with family and friends. In addition, other religions also celebrate their holiday traditions during this time as well.

Another holiday tradition is going Christmas shopping. Getting the best holiday deals are always a plus this time of the year. Every store has their special sales and it makes the holidays even better to find cheap and cute holiday clothes.

In addition to Christmas shopping for yourself, the winter season is also a time to buy last minute gifts for friends and loved ones. The most exciting adventure is going shopping to find gifts that make the people around you feel special and appreciated.

My favorite part about the winter season is of course the hot beverages. There is nothing like sipping on a hot and steaming latte or hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Starbucks will forever be my go to for hot beverages and everybody else’s as well. Everyone rushes into Starbucks just to get the famous red cup for the holidays.

In addition to the red cups, people come and get their favorite holiday drinks including the Caramel Brulée Latte, the Eggnog latte, the Gingerbread Latte and many more holiday favorites.

The winter season is also great because it is a good time to absolutely do nothing. Since the weather outside is frightful it is wonderful to just relax in the warm house sitting by the fire place.

In addition, it’s the perfect time to catch up on some shows on Netflix or just snuggle up with a blanket and watch a few movies, especially holiday ones.

However you enjoy the winter season, make sure it is a marvelous one.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
