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.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
