11 Reasons Why Winter Sucks
The Libertarian Republic

Winter is typically no one's favorite season. I mean, it's pretty, but I'm sure everyone starts to hate it as it starts to hit negative temperatures toward January. Coming from a college student's standpoint, winter only leads to being cooped up and bored. Here's 11 reasons why winter sucks.

1. You fall (a lot)


Winter means ice. Ice means falling. Falling isn't fun. It never is.

2. You feel like you're going to die outside

The windchill and freezing temperatures make you feel like you are going to pass away as soon as you leave your warm home.

3. You are cooped up

Winter leads to being stuck in your home for the most part. No one really wants to adventure into the tundra.

4. You have to start you car early

Nothing is worse than having to adventure outside just to start you car so you don't freeze or ruin your automobile.

5. People forget how to drive


For some reason every winter people forget basic laws of the road. They'll usually try to justify it as snow, but 9/10 times the roads aren't bad.

6. Your house can actually break

When the hardcore negative temperatures hit, you are at risk of pipes literally exploding.

7. January

This one doesn't really need an explanation. After New Year's Day, January is just the coldest, most bitter month.

8. Winter storms


Speaking for myself, and hopefully others, no one actually enjoys a snow storm.

9. Everything's like the dead

All of the vegetation for the most part becomes lifeless and gloomy. It gets old after a while.

10. Black ice

My biggest fear. You'll be going 10 miles an hour and suddenly you're in a ditch.

11. Boredom

Winter just bores people. It's nice and fun around Christmas, but then it loses its charm. There's just nothing to do when it's freezing.

There are plenty of reasons why winter sucks, but these were the first to come to mind. Winter is cool from the warmth of your house, but besides that it just sucks. Luckily it only last four months and then we can finally leave our homes. Just take advantage of your house time by finishing your Netflix queue.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
