The winter season has sprung upon us. While there are some of you out there who love the winter season, there are also some who cannot stand it. From the icy roads to the freezing temperatures, there is nothing positive that comes out of the winter season. Here are five reasons why winter is the worst.

1. You and everyone else around you is constantly are sick. (Ew germs!)

Being sick is not fun. Especially catching the flu.

2. You lose motivation to go anywhere.

Whether it's hanging out with your friends, doing something fun, or getting up for work or school in the morning, you literally dread going anywhere. It is such a process to put on all the necessary layers you need to feel some sort of warmth when you go outside, and you find yourself questioning whether it's worth it to leave your house at all. The cold makes it harder to get up and to get moving. I do not approve.

3. Chapped lips.

Chapped lips are not a fun time. I have enough chapsticks and lip balms to be able to open up my own CVS! My lips are chapped 24/7.

4. The snow.

While it may look pretty around Christmas time, after that it is not necessary. Most of the time it is not the light and fluffy snow that they show in movies. It is heavy, thick, and decides to make everything brown and gross. It makes driving difficult and it is just a mess!

5. The whole getting dark thing at 4:30.

It makes me more tired than I already am. Once it gets dark, it seems like the perfect time to crawl into bed and go to sleep, but it’s only 5 p.m!
