Why Winter Is The Best Season

I know you're tired of the cold, but ,trust me, winter is still the best season by far.

I've always loved winter. Like, LOVED winter. Whenever we had an essay in elementary school about what season was your favorite, I always chose winter. To some, though, winter is too dreary, cold, and dark. Well, hello nay-sayers, here are four reasons why winter is unequivocally the best season.

Snow!

First of all, have you ever seen anything more wonderful than snow gently falling? There's something so peaceful and other-worldly about it. Plus, each and every snowflake is unique. Not to mention all the fun there is too be had playing in it. I mean — sledding, snowboarding, skiing, tubing, snow angels, snow ball fights — the list goes on! Snow is made for fun! No other weather can claim that. And when does snow happen? Winter, of course.

Warmth

Winter is the only season you get to really appreciate the heat seeping comfortably into your bones. That feeling, for me, is not only relaxing but also extremely nostalgic. It reminds me of going to a friends house after hours of sledding for a cup of hot chocolate. It reminds me of sitting by the fire at Christmas with my family surrounding me — all of us laughing. Winter is built to create these moments of satisfaction. So yeah, it's cold. But being able to get warm again is so worth it.

The Holidays

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, or Kwanzah, winter has it all for you. Well, not in the southern hemisphere, but at least in the northern hemisphere, winter is the perfect time to grab your family and hole up for a couple of days and just enjoy being around one another. Now, my family celebrates Christmas and I know that some of my best memories are associated with Christmas, and, especially with Christmas being in winter. For me there's nothing better than waking up Christmas morning and seeing a fresh blanket of snow on the ground sparkling like the Christmas lights hung around the railings of our stairs.

Peppermint

I don't know about everyone else but I really love the taste of peppermint and there's just something so refreshing about eating peppermint during winter. Also, peppermint is in just about every Starbucks' drink and candy on the shelf. Some people are all about the pumpkin spice latte during fall but I love to drink a peppermint mocha as I walk out of the building with the steam from the drink warming my face and then my body as I take a sip. So yeah, unpopular opinion, I know.

You probably still don't agree with me.

That's okay. I know winter gets a lot of heat — ironically — for being the worst season of the year. Still, as you spend time with your families and take a break from school I hope you take a second glance at winter and at least grow to realize, you know? It's really not that bad at all.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
