The Winter Has A Lot To Offer

The Winter Season
Top Ten Travel Blog

The winter season has arrived. Which means you’ve probably switched out all your Summer/Fall clothes and brought out the endless hoodies, sweaters, fleece sweatpants, hats, scarves, and gloves. Everything you need to prepare yourself for the cold weather. But like every season, there seems to be a pattern that builds up. It could be a wide-range of things. Whether it’s complaining about the whether or being bored at home because you can’t go anywhere due to the weather. All in all, we tend to blame the winter season for a lot of things.

The Freezing Cold


Every winter season, you’re bound to hear the words

“It’s so cold!” or “Jeez! It’s brick out!”

Umm…. in case you forgot it’s winter. What’d you expect sunshine and rainbows?


Blistering Winds

Wind so strong it nearly blew you away huh? All in all winter time isn’t all that bad. If you subtract the blasting wind if your face it’s fine.

Snowstorms


Do I really have to explain this one? I mean it’s wintertime. During winter it snows. Chances are it’ll snow a lot. Stop complaining you hate the snow. The more crap you talk about the snow, the more you’ll get.

Slippery Ice


Probably the worst part of winter. Slipping on ice is no joke and pretty painful. Embarrassing too if I may add because if you’re with your friends they won’t wait a single moment to laugh at you. But I should warn you. There’s a curse to laughing at people to slip on ice. If you laugh at your friend or someone that slipped and fell on the ice. Soon enough you’re going to slip and fall too because you decided it would be okay to laugh at your friend/someone who fell, So don’t laugh!


Then there are the most common things you hear from people during the wintertime or about winter in general. Which you can either agree on or just straight up bug you.

“Winter Is My Favorite Season”


Okay fine. I admit this is probably me. I’m not saying I like the cold. I feel like a lot goes on during the winter season. And you may not realize but there’s quite a lot you can do as well. You just have to be open-minded.

“I’m A Winter Baby"


To those whose favorite season is winter and their only reasoning is because they were born in the winter, is not a good enough. End of discussion.

“It’s Going To Snow…. Again"

Haven’t we been through this already? It’s winter!

“Why Is It So Cold!”

The dumbest rhetorical question ever to ask during winter. But we're all guilty of it.


While many tend to complain about the winter time. You forget how many times it probably made you happy. Or why the winter time can be great.

Snowball Fights


Nothing beats heading out with your friends for a little cold fun.

Snow Tubing/Sledding

If you haven’t tried any of these during the winter or have gone to an area where they have these activities. You are truly missing out on the winter fun.

And lastly, probably the best one of all……

Don’t lie when you say you don’t wake up a little early to watch the news to see the list of school cancellations or check your school email to see if there’s any update the morning after a snowstorm.


Let’s be real. Wintertime is awesome. It falls around the most wonderful time of the year. So much goes on during the winter. You have the holidays, the end of the semester, snowfall and much more. The winter season is a great season. So stop hating and start appreciating what winter has done for you. Otherwise, you’ll slip and fall.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
