9 Reasons Why Winter Is My Favorite Season

Winter is the prettiest season in my opinion; no spring allergies, snow, and blankets and all things cozy.

1. Snow

I always had this fascination with snow. Since I was a kid, that would be the only time I would go outside and play. It wasn't like the summer where I'd splash around in a pool, but actually make something out of snow, whether it's leaving a trail of footprints, snow angels, or a snowman.

2. I dress better

Even though I tolerate heat way better, I stand by the cold because I can bundle up. This means layering with sweaters, a nice coat, scarves, and beanies with cute socks and boots. It beats the t-shirt, athletic shorts, and flip-flops I'd run out of the house within the summer.

3. Nutcracker season

I'm a huge ballet fan. The only Christmas music I really enjoy is from the Nutcracker ballet. I'm going to see New York City Ballet's performance with my mom and I couldn't be more excited.

4. Gifts

Receiving gifts are always great, but I really like giving small treats to my friends. I would make small holiday goodie-bags with chocolates and mini candy canes to my classmates before winter break.

5. Fuzzy things

I enjoy bundling up. I love fuzzy socks because they're very fun and cute. It's also time to break out all of the throw blankets all over the house.

6. Eating good 

Christmas means family dinners, which mean feasting. My personal favorite is are pecan pie and sugar cookies. I have a big sweet tooth.

7. Winter break

The holidays call for a break from school. Whether you're going to a tropical location to avoid the cold or staying at home, you get a break at the end of the year. (Or just stay home by yourself like Kevin here.)

8. Family and friend time

Going off of winter break, everyone from schools and work offices have a couple of days off. This is the time to catch up with friends and family you didn't get to see over the shorter Thanksgiving break. Make the most out the time you have with them.

9. Festive aesthetic

The snow is fun to play with but is transforms everything when it's left alone. Add some lights under the snow to get an elegant glimmer when it becomes dark outside.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
