Welcome To The Winter That Has Every Season

Layers are the only way.

Welcome To The Winter That Has Every Season
Phineas and Ferb Wiki

The struggle has been real this winter, as in these past few weeks it's gone from thirty degrees, up to eighty, and back down to thirty. This has led to some very specific difficulties that can only come from experiencing this type of weather.

1. Layers

Layers are the only way to dress when it's freezing in the morning and August in the afternoon. This means you are going to end up either sweating, carrying a jacket around or most likely both.

2. Drink Order Complications

You walk into a coffee shop for a nice hot chocolate to warm you up, and by the time you walk out, you wished you had gone to get a milkshake instead.

3. Outdoor Activities

When trying to coordinate fun activities with your friends, there is some real confusion. It's February, so ice skating is a natural choice, and the outdoor rinks are open. But, they are full of puddles and it's warm enough to consider the option of driving down to the beach. Is February too early to think about getting a tan?

4. Getting Sick

Because the weather is so unpredictable, your clothing choices are often regrettable and flu season is in full swing, getting a cold (or worse, the flu) is almost inevitable. Good luck.

5. Early Summer-itis

Although it's February, the warmer days are starting to scream "May," and it feels like we should be getting to the end of finals, taking unplanned beach trips and preparing for summer. It's very confusing, and unfortunately, we're only four weeks into the semester.

6. Country Music

This one is specific to those of us who listen to country music seasonally. Because normally, it is a genre reserved only for windows-down summer driving. However, the weather is now suddenly making country music feel appropriate. And then the next day it's so cold that Christmas music seems a necessary part of the day.

7. The Hope Of Snow

Because the weather is going from hot to cold so quickly, there's no way to know whether or not it will snow. Keeping this hope alive, and the hope that school will then be canceled for a few days is still a legitimate dream.

Despite its frustrations, enjoy the weather and all its ups and downs, because it'll be ninety degrees in a few months. (Or in a few days, you never know!)

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

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
