It's not me, it's you.

10 Reasons We Can't Stand Winter

In summer it's too hot, but once winter comes around, my gosh, we can't stand the dark afternoons, and nearly below freezing temperatures. We can never win, can we!? With the thick of winter approaching, I know I'm not the only one who's wanted to toss a punch mother nature's way. Here are just a few of the innumerable amounts of times we've had a little extra hate towards winter.

1. Loading Up On Layers.


Jackets were never designed to fit five layers underneath them, never mind just two. It's physically impossible. Yes, I want to be able to move my arms, and no my goal is not to look arguably 400 pounds. Nope, I just won't do it, you can't make me.

2. Ice

I hate it, you hate it, we all hate the invisible life ruiner that can send your "strut-walking-to-class" confident self falling; no pun intended. Get ready friends, brace yourself, you will be okay, you're not alone.

3. Tis' the Season To Be Sick.


I never want to see another box of Kleenex, bag of Halls, or bottle of Nyquil ever again, kapeesh?

4. Losing Feeling Everywhere.

No, it wasn't the botox it was the two degree weather you just trudged through. You can't smile, you can't send a text under five minutes; the possible becomes impossible, my friends. You know what I'm talking about.

5. Serious Warm Weather FOMO.

Winter break means countless amounts of Instagram posts of your friends on some tropical island. I don't know how much longer I can live vicariously through social media; help.

6. The Lack of Motivation is Real.

It's too cold to do anything; AKA I will not leave my room until winter is over: happy hibernation people, let the food babies grow bigger, and the day light become dimmer.

7. Getting Up in the Morning is 100x Harder.

Kudos to the early risers, but I, myself, have found getting out of bed in the morning to easily be one of the toughest challenges of the day. During the summer or spring, sure, there's a little more purpose to get up and out on nice days; winter? no thank you. No one likes stepping out of bed onto cold floor, with cold feet, and by now you probably have a cold heart too. Don't feel ashamed.

8. Cleaning off Your Car.

The gif speaks for itself, my friends. No one's a fan.

9. Nothing is Pleasant.

Never mind having to clean off your car, what about walking to your car? Waiting for it to warm up? Just stepping outside for anything in general? Yup.

10. Sinking in Snow.

Taking that first step and suddenly you're not only knee deep in snow, but your boots are filled with it, your legs are soaked by it, and your mood is ruined because of it.

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.

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.

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.
