I know I'm not the only one that enjoys the later months and early months of the year more than the middle months. Of course, there are a few flaws with winter. Like the fact that everyone's bills rise because they use way too much electricity, or the fact that the days are shorter, or even the possible power outages from blizzards and snow storms. But still, winter is so much better than summer, and you can't convince me otherwise.
Here are a few of my favorite reasons why winter is the best and summer can suck it.
1. It's not hot
Being too hot blows. Being able to walk outside in a jacket and not dying is honestly one of the best feelings ever.
2. Fuzzy socks
Let's be serious, who doesn't love a good fuzzy sock? They're just so warm and cozy. It's like wearing clouds on your feet, and you can never have too many.
3. Comfy clothes in general
What's better than wearing a big comfy sweater or a hoodie with nothing underneath? Nothing. I'm sure a lot of girls are with me on that. People don't expect you to get all dressed up, in fact, people are usually just happy to see other people in the snow.
4. No one tries to force you to go outside
The summer is typically the time that people want to go out and do things. Introverted people hate being "forced" to do things, especially when it deals with outside and other people. Winter is a time that no one wants to deal with nature —therefore, no one goes outside. And if you do happen to go outside, there's usually only one or two people out. It's actually a win.
5. You get to stay snuggled in bed all day with no judgments
I don't even need to explain or justify this one.
6. Outside is so gorgeous and peaceful
Fresh snow is so beautiful, and the way streetlights reflect off it is just amazing. The fresh crunch under your feet is also really nice. And when it's kind of dark and no one is out and it's so quite out, it's really calming. A little freaky like you might get murdered, but definitely still nice.
7. There's no heat
This is still important. If you live anywhere with humidity you know the heat is NO JOKE. If you're not out by the water, then chances are you're miserable when outside. And you're miserable inside because using the AC costs big bucks.
8. No sweat
Another great part about winter is that you don't ruin shirts with pit stains, you don't get embarrassing sweat lines/stains, you don't have to worry about how many layers you can wear, and most importantly you don't have to worry about other people not wearing enough deodorant. It really amazes me that people can walk out of the house without deodorant on, but at least in the winter, it's not as big of a deal. If you're a woman, you probably use deodorant in more than one place, so you know how truly important it is.
9. Possible snow days
If your school or city isn't equipped to handle or accommodate for snow you might get lucky. Unfortunately for some of us, we have to hope, pray, and sell a kidney just to get classes to start a few hours late or have work canceled. But when it happens, oh boy is it nice.
10. Happier people
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like people are happier in the winter. I don't know if it's the holiday spirit or all the days off from school and work, but either way, it's relieving to see happy people.
11. And most importantly, my birthday
Most of us with winter birthdays end up getting double gifted, but it's still nice to look back and see how much you've changed in the past year!
