Why I Have A Love-Hate Relationship With Winter
Srinidhi Vangala

For a lot of people, winter is the best and favorite season. The chilly winter weather seems like a welcome change after the insane sweating of summers and the cold fall season.. But certain everyday things become awfully difficult with the homecoming of winters. Over the years, I’ve developed a love-hate relationship with this season. Here are 11 daily life things that just become way too painful in winter.

1. Waking up in the morning

The struggle starts at the beginning of the day. Who wants to say goodbye to their comfy warm blanket?

2. Taking a LOOOOOONNNG shower

Is it just me or do you never want to step out of a long hot shower?

3. Stepping out of the house

Work, school or errands. It's all painful!

4. Changing out into new clothes

Those few minutes of frosty air against the skin are enough to send shivers down your spine.

5. Getting up in the middle of the night out of bed

All you want to do is curl up in a little ball and sleep for the next 62 hours

6. Walking barefoot on the floor

Feels like walking on ice. Ouch.

7. Wearing layers of clothes

*Pats self for moving limbs properly.*

8. Driving in the mist and fog

Winter welcomes you with never-ending foggy roads. Gear up for the aching task of finding your way in the blur!

9. The “wonderful” smell of sweaty socks

It can be such a misery in a crowded place!

10. Chapped Lips

Winters cometh! Time to stock up chapsticks, people!

11. Keeping cold and sickness at bay

Hello, communicable diseases in the air! Even an apple a day can't ensure keeping the doctor away in winters.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
