Summer, Fall, Spring, Winter, all are seasons that the earth and its inhabitants encounter every year. Each individual has a favorite season for very distinct reasons. My favorite season is winter and I refuse to love any other.
Every summer where the scorching heat makes sweat drip down my face, I eagerly wait for the winter months. Snow cones and water parks are fun and all, but nothing beats the feeling of walking in 40-degree weather dressed in boots, sweaters, and scarves, holding a hot cup of coffee.
Let’s start with the cons of winter and save the pros (Best) for last:
- Getting out of your warm, cozy bet is indeed struggle during the winter – when it’s 40 degrees outside and you’re wrapped up in your warm, fuzzy blanket, the last thing you want is to jump out of bed at 6 a.m. in the morning.
- Waiting for the freezing water to warm up during a shower- when you’re already freezing, stepping into cold water will only send chills down your body. The wait for the hot water is one of the longest waits I’ve ever experienced.
- Not having enough layers on to keep you warm- Your closet might consist of summer clothes and when winter begins, you have no idea how to adapt your clothing to this season.
- Driving in this weather might be a bit tragic- waiting for the ice to melt off of your car windows when you’re already running late for class is the most obnoxious experiences ever.
- Overplayed Christmas music- Although this music is enjoyable at first, it gets a bit annoying when it’s all you hear on every radio station and every store that you walk into.
Now for the pros of winter:
- Holiday sales get everyone pumped- Summer clothing goes on sale and an excess of coupons piles up in your wallet.
- Winter break is about to begin- After months of studying and working hard to increase that GPA, it’s finally time for a nice, long and relaxing break.
- The feeling of drinking hot coffee in the freezing weather- After drinking iced coffee during the summer months, that hot vanilla latte can finally satisfy your hot coffee craving.
- Warm chocolate chip cookies taste the best during this season- Chocolate chip cookies are delicious all year round, but they taste extra special during the cold season especially when they’re consumed while warm with a cup of milk.
- The chance of snow- If you live in Houston, then you may not be able to experience snow. But in the north, it’s time to build frosty the snowman!
- Christmas lights brighten up the entire city- However dull your city may look on a daily basis, because of the Christmas spirit it’s enlightened and looks like a wonderland.
- Movies are a bit more fun to watch in the weather- Holiday movies are not only funny but extremely fun to watch at night with family and friends.
What’s your favorite season?
