The Cold Is Obviously Better Than The Heat

Blast that AC.

The Cold Is Obviously Better Than The Heat

The cold is better than the heat. It just is. There are several examples I can use to back this up.

First, you can always put more clothes on, but you can't avoid the heat. If you're hot outside, you're pretty much stuck. If you are cold, you can wear a jacket or a heated scarf. It's easy enough to work around.

Also, it's great to snuggle up under blankets during the winter. I'm a person who likes being comfortable and wrapped up like a burrito in my blankets when I go to sleep. When you are stuck in the heat at night, it's really hard to sleep. There is a constant struggle of wanting to sleep with a blanket, but sweating like crazy when you try to be comfortable. The heat is not a friend when you are trying to sleep.

In addition, heat just makes people cranky. When you are really hot and can't escape the rays of the sun, you are going to be in a bad mood. You will complain and feel gross because you are sweating through your clothes. In the cold, on the other hand, you may be chilly and running through the cold to get into a building, but people don't complain and get as bitter as much as they do in the sweltering heat.

Of course, I am not overlooking the fact that there are a lot of fun things to do when it's hot out. You can swim, go boating, and go to the beach. Personally, I would rather throw a snowball.

I'm also extremely light-skinned, so for me, heat means sunburn. Sunscreen also feels gross and greasy, so I'd prefer a cool, cloudy day over a bright, hot one.

In the heat, it's a lot easier to get dehydrated too. You have to constantly remember to protect yourself from the sun and drink lots of fluids in the summer, whereas, in the winter, you can wrap yourself in a blanket and drink hot chocolate while you stare out the window at a winter wonderland. To me, that's a lot more appealing.

If you're in a place with no heat, you can wrap yourself up and be OK. If you're in a place with no AC, it's just not going to be a good day. You'll have to deal with the humid air, the constant sweat, the effort it takes to just breathe and the inability to really do anything in your state.

Cold obviously wins out. Who doesn't love comfy sweaters and fluffy socks? To everyone who is like me and loves the cold as opposed to the heat, you know you feel like a human radiator when you go anywhere where people love the heat. It's a struggle when you are somewhere where the heat is turned on high and you feel like laying down and dying. So blast that AC, wrap yourself in blankets, and be the little polar bear that you were meant to be. After all, the cold is superior.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
