Why Winter is Better

Why December through March are the best times of the year.

Why Winter is Better
Wall Devil

I always preferred Winter, and I really don’t know why. Although I was born in late Spring, there was just something about the cold and snow that always made me feel at peace. Even with the slush and ice, it was always my favorite season.

THE CLOTHES

I know that no one really likes being cold, but at least you could do something about it. You can cover yourself up with a jacket, gloves, and a hat. Can you really cover yourself up in Summer? When it’s blazing hot? Plus, layering is so much cuter in my opinion. I do like my Keds and Converse, but I always feel so much cuter in some leggings and boots. And how can I forget about sweaters? Sweaters are my favorite clothing item, whether it be ugly Christmas sweaters or just big sweaters that I buy for myself or steal from someone (my boyfriend).

THE HOLIDAYS

There are so many different holidays during the Winter time that you can experience, not just Christmas. There’s Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, Yule, and Saturnalia. You can read about them and how to celebrate them here. We should embrace all these holidays and be happy we live in a diverse world. And just for the record, there is nothing PC about saying “happy holidays” instead of “merry Christmas”. Don’t be a jerk. There are various holidays during this time of year, so we should celebrate them ALL.

BEING WITH FAMILY

With the many holidays, it brings time to spend with family. Being a daughter of divorced parents, it can sometimes be a little hard because you don’t exactly know who to be with. But whoever you’re with, it’s always nice being around family that you love or maybe haven’t seen in awhile.

THE FOOD

This is something that I cannot get over. Being Mexican, we always make tamales and pozole during the holiday season, and it goes on for weeks! It’s pretty much all we eat, and I do not care about how much weight I probably gain.

THE SNOW

I have a thing for snow in all honesty. I love playing in it, throwing it, being thrown in it. My lovely boyfriend has a thing for always pushing me in the snow whenever we’re walking together. But if you’re from the south or somewhere warm where it never snows, I feel incredibly sorry for you. There’s nothing better than a white Christmas (for those that celebrate it, of course).

You can’t tell me there is no better season than Winter because I will definitely disagree with you, no matter what.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
