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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
