Some people love the winter time. They love the puffy jackets, wearing too many layers, skiing, drinking hot drinks, all while having Christmas music on repeat. But for me? I personally hate the winter. I can't ski to save my life, I can no longer indulge in my favorite iced drinks, I get too hot in my millions of layers, and Christmas music gets under my skin. I typically hate being pessimistic, but I think everyone has a time where they just want to vent about winter. On that note, some of the worst things about winter are:

Everyone gets sick this time of year.

It doesn't matter how many layers I put on, or how much sleep I get, the changing of the seasons and going from the heated buildings to the freezing outside always manages to get me sick. And at college, once one of your friends is sick, everyone else manages to get sick. It is a never-ending cycle.

You REALLY dread walking to class.

There is nothing that dampens your morning like waking up for your morning class in the freezing cold. It is already hard enough to get out of bed to go to class on any morning, but in the winter it seems ten times worse.

You lose motivation to go anywhere.

Whether it's going somewhere fun on weekends, walking to the library late at night, or even just leaving your room to get food, you literally dread going anywhere. It is such a process to put on all the necessary layers you need to feel some sort of warmth when you go outside, and you find yourself questioning whether it's worth it to leave your room at all.

Everyone's mood is a reflection of the weather.

When the sun is out on a warm summer, spring, or fall day, it is hard to feel bad about the day because the weather makes you feel so much happier and relaxed. But in the winter, if you are already in a bad mood, the weather will not be there to pick you up. In fact, the day will seem worse than it actually is because of the cold temperatures.

It becomes crunch time for work and finals.

As if we weren't already stressed enough because of the bad weather, it feels even worse because the workload starts to increase and the classes seem to pack everything in before final exams.

But on a positive note: even though winter can suck sometimes, I guess hating winter gives me all the reasons to look forward to the spring, summer, and fall!
