Waking up in the morning and seeing the temperature is 7 but feels like -9 is never a good way to start the day. This act usually comes with feelings of despair, negativity, and the chills. Instead of accepting this negative connotation of the coldness, here are four things about winter that can actually be super fun and great!

1. Excuse to stay in bed

When you wake up and see the frigid temperatures, your first thought might be to get out of bed, and put together a warm outfit. Instead of this, you should probably just stay in bed, and avoid all commitments you have for the day. Although this may derail your studies or effectiveness, what would you rather do? Go face the frosty outdoors or stay in your cozy, warm bed, and spend all day binge-watching Netflix. I think the choice is obvious.

2. Snow

White, powdered, fluffy snow covers your car, clothes, and walk to class. You may slip, fall, or be unable to see. Instead of taking this pessimistic outlook, think about it like this, you are basically inside of a snow globe. This is legit your childhood dreams coming true! Congrats! Take in the beauty, some people go their whole lives without being assaulted by the white frost that falls from the sky.

3. Warm clothes

When picking which hat, scarf, or gloves to wear, instead of thinking how cold your about to be, think about how cute and warm you look! Winter accessories are the best way to add some personality and fun to any outfit, while also keeping you toasty in the frigid temperatures! Consider adding a furry pair of socks, they add some fun, while also keeping your feet from turning blue!

4. Hot cocoa

What’s the perfect way to get warmed up? Drinking hot coco! This delicious beverage serves two purposes, one, to get your body temperature to a normal level, and two, a delicious snack! This beverage shines during the winter, and you will definitely miss it on those hot summer days. Take advantage of this delicious drink while you still can!

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.

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.
