Pros and Cons of Arkansas Weather

Pros and Cons of Arkansas Weather

It's sunny and 75, and you are enjoying this delightful day with a hike at Devil's Den. The wind is calm enough to allow it to be superb outdoor weather. The next morning approaches and it's time to make your trek to class, only for you to find yourself regretting leaving behind your beanie, gloves, and hand warmers. The brisk wind is rigid enough to make your eyes water, and you shove your hands farther into your pockets in an attempt to keep any bit of you as warm as you can. Welcome to Fayetteville, Arkansas. So what are the pros and cons of this oscillating weather?

Pro: You get unexpected sunny days. These days that sneak up on us instantly bring out our granola side, and there is nothing like it. When the weather decides to be beautiful, there are plenty of places for you to get out and explore!

Con: You get unexpected brisk days. Unlike the sunny days, these days that sneak up on us cause us to spend our time wrapped up in our homes while Netflix binging, more likely than not. Classes get skipped in an attempt to escape from these un-welcomed days and the chances of catching a cold are quite high.

Pro: You can find spring in January. What's better than spring-like weather in the middle of January? You expect to be bundled up and hating the outdoors, but instead, you find yourself wanting to go to the nearest park just to enjoy the day!


Con: You can find winter in April. What's worse than winter-like weather in April? In Arkansas, the chances of snowfall in April is just as likely as April showers.


Pro: There is nothing quite like the sight of snowfall in Fayetteville. The picture-perfect view of the hills covered in a blanket of white snow is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sights that you will ever see.


Con: When it does snow, you are stuck. Unless you are accompanied by a vehicle with intense four-wheel drive, you are not going anywhere in these hills once the snow and ice stick.


Pro: Fayetteville is the ideal place for you to live come summer time. Devil's Den, Lake Fayetteville, Wilson Park, Gentry Zoo, Crystal Bridges ... and that's just to name a few. Fayetteville is easily known for all of its natural beauty and outdoor activities.


Con: Because it's ideal, it can be crowded. Group bike rides are a popular activity during the spring and summer, and you will pass Fayettevillians running everywhere that you look. Just like you, the rest of the town's citizens are wanting to get out and enjoy the day as well, causing it to be a bit crowded each place that you go.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
