1. The freakin' cold

Some people love the winter; they love relishing in the snow, keeping up with old traditions and going ice skating with friends. While, yes, I will admit that all of those do sound amazing, I can't be convinced that winter is the best season. For me, winter is the absolute worst and I am yet to be convinced otherwise. Out of the four options we have, I can think of numerous reasons why any other season can be better than winter. And, yes, I know I live in the Northeast. No, it is not as easy to "move somewhere warmer."

1. The freakin' cold

No, I don't love having to dress in 47 layers when I walk outside to my car in 19-degree weather.

2. Having to clear my car off

I can't even get in my car right away because there's a layer of ice on it!! Yay!!

3. It gets dark at 5 p.m.

It is literally pitch black at 5 p.m. This only makes me exhausted and crave my bed, but sadly life won't allow that.

4. Black ice

Honestly, just stay in your house. This is your safest option.

5. There's nothing to look forward to after New Years

Winter is depressing.

6. Layer on layers on layers

Once again, layers aren't ideal.

7. Motivation is at an all time low

How can you be motivated when all you want to go do is sleep and eat?

8. Food becomes scarce

No motivation = no trips to the grocery store. Food. Becomes. Scarce.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
