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!)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
