I Hate Winter, But I Love Snow Days

Snow days put your life on pause.

How can anyone hate a snow day? A snow day freezes time and stops everything. It closes school and work. I was so grateful to have a snow day March 7, 2018! Not because all my midterms got pushed back or anything, but because it gave me a free day.

I honestly hate the cold though and the thing is I'm almost always cold. Ask anyone! But when it's a snow day, its a different type of cold. I instantly get excited to sit in my PJs and binge watch Netflix all day. Snow days are peaceful because your life is basically on pause.

Of course, snow days are not as magical as when I was a little kid and the whole neighborhood would play outside. We would build tunnels in the dead end, have snowball fights, and go sledding. Now we're all old and we enjoy the snow day from inside.

A snow day is like the perfect mental health day because your not really expected to do anything. The main thing you're expected to do on a snow day is chill.

My day consisted of eating french toast, watching a movie, taking a nap, eating again, watching more tv, and eating. That's a solid day in my book! How many days do you actually get to do things like that? The answer is like never! Especially when you work on Sundays or have a ton of homework to do.

I know everyone was so over the winter and want spring, but you cannot say you were unhappy with receiving a day off from school or work. I personally cannot wait until the 70 degree weather, but I'll take a day off anytime I can get.

I will always get excited for a snow day, even in college!

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.
