Winter can be a difficult time.

9 Struggles of the Winter
Newsthump.com

Well, it's December, which means that winter and cold weather is officially here. Time to break out the winter coat. Even though it may not seem that bad, the weather can actually affect many parts of your life. Here are 9 struggles of the winter time:

1. Getting out of bed in the mornings becomes ten times harder.


Your warm bed makes it hard to get up and leave for the day.

2. The sun makes it look deceivingly warm.

You think it's warm because it's sunny outside. Then you look at the weather app and quickly realize that it's as cold as the depths of hell.

3. Wearing too many layers.

You have to wear a lot of layers, and constantly take them off when you go inside and put them back on. Either that or be super hot inside. It's a back and forth.

4. Your face, hands, and ears go numb after being outside for 2 minutes.

It takes a solid 10 minutes to regain feeling once you're back inside.

5. You spend as much time inside as you can.

You maximize your indoor time and spend as little time outside as possible. A lot of times, that means not getting food or just waiting until you're on your way to class.

6. The idea of showering sounds less than inviting.

I mean, taking all of your clothes off in your cold bathroom and getting in the cold shower just don't sound as good as being warm. That's what deodorant and dry shampoo are for, right?

7. Your social life becomes increasingly lacking.

Staying home and watching Netflix sounds more enticing than going outside in the freezing cold and putting lots of clothes on.

8. You grow to hate the wind, which makes it almost 10 degrees colder.

If there was no wind, it definitely wouldn't be as cold outside. It can make it hard to walk, especially if you're walking the opposite way.

9. Walking to class seems way farther than normal.

You don't remember your class being this far away? And then, of course your classes on the other side of campus are the worst to walk to.

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.
