Reasons To Get Outside This Winter Break
Carter Blockwitz

Winter is a beautifully cold season in which any self-respecting student would rather veg-out on the couch and binge Netflix, than go outside. Natural Parks and Reserves in Wisconsin aren't just for summer months, and instead can have breathtaking sites of ice and snow that make Wisconsin look like it's own wonderland. Here are some reasons to get out and explore this winter break:


1. Get Some Fresh Air

Getting outside is a good mental break from whatever you are binging, and you can initiate a snowball fight.


2. Exercise

Hear me out! The most generic idea can have some benefits, including keeping up some muscle from the summertime months. A few tracks in the snow and your legs and butt will be feeling it.


3. Cheap Thrills

There is something thrilling about playing in the snow like your a 5-year-old again.

4. Adventure

You find little cafés, small towns, and strange places. Cell signal may not be on this adventure with you.



5. Explore The Great Views of Wisconsin

Wisconsin is known for it's cliffs and bluffs around the Dells area, and the sights are gorgeous. Add a quiet, white-landscape as far as they eye can see and you will have a picture perfect image.

6. A Trip Any College Student Could Afford

All you need on this trip is good friends, a road map, and tunes.


7. Quality Time

Whether in a big group or just your best friend, it's good quality time together on the open road.

No matter what gets you out and moving, do it. Enjoy the little things and the beautiful sights Wisconsin has to offer before break ends. It will be worth it, just don't forget to bundle up.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
