Going to college in the Northeast is great. The scenery is beautiful, there are plenty of places to hike and get outside, the air is fresh, and the summers aren't too hot. Of course, there is one downfall, the winters here are brutal. Unless you love the cold and dream of skiing/snowboarding in your sleep, winter has few redeemable factors. And maybe winter wouldn't be so horrible if you didn't have to walk to class in the freezing cold. So here are just a few thoughts we all have while trying to walk to class in the winter.
1. Okay, it isn't that cold out.
2. Well...it's a little chilly.
3. But good thing I put on every single piece of clothing I own.
4. Nope. I'm dying. I am slowly freezing to death.
5. I think my nose is getting frostbite.
6. WALK FASTER!
7. Whoa! Slow down. I don't want to slip.
8. What is the fastest and warmest way to class?
9. Why didn't I take the bus?
10. I'm not going to make it. I can't feel my legs
11. Why is that guy only wearing a sweatshirt?
12. I should have gone to college in Florida. Can I still transfer?
13. How many more weeks until spring?
14. Curse the wind and it's bitter sting!
15. Almost there. I think I just might make it.
16. Ahhh....warmth.
17. Please don't make me walk all the way back to my dorm.
So best of luck, my fellow college students, in your vailent attempts to get to class even in sub-zero tempertures and blizzards. Just know you are not alone in your pain. Stay warm and stay sane. Spring will be her soon...ish.
