6 Reasons I Could Live Without Snow For Good

In This Article:

Living north for 17 years we got hit with tons of snow over the years. As a kid, I loved it. I loved making snow angels, and sledding. But now I would prefer to never see it again.

Here are six reasons why I dread the snow, and dread winter because of it.

1. The snow is cold

The snow is literally beyond freezing. I personally don't like weather below the 60s, but that is my personal opinion. The snow is way too cold for comfort — like you are going to experience hypothermia when you take a step outside.

Maybe if the snow was not cold, which is literally impossible, I would like it.

2. It is pretty for a second

The first snowfall of the year is usually when I might like it. I don't like blizzards, but I like when the snow is falling little flakes at night time. At some point, the snow is going to turn a dirty mud color and people are going to walk/drive in it. So, the beauty of the snow fades away.

3. You can't drive

If you have two-wheel drive, it is literally impossible to successfully reach your destination in the snow. It will triple your estimated arrival time if it is snowing outside. You slip and slide, and the ice is awful. People underestimate how bad road conditions really are, and they end up into an accident.

I personally, get bad anxiety when I have to drive in the snow. Also, with my job at a nursing home I have to go to work. They don't close because of snow.

4. It takes forever for the snow to fade away

In the winter it seems like it takes forever for the snow to melt. Depending on the amount of snow there is, the snow might stay there for weeks. Rain does not bother me, it pours and it is gone. Snow — you see it for forever.

At this point it is not even pretty anymore, some spots are grass and others are snow.

5. Everything is delayed

When I was a kid, I loved no school and a snow day. But honestly, as I'm ready to graduate I HATE snow days, every day you miss is one day you have to make up in June. Its days being pushed to the very end — days you would rather be on a beach, but you are sitting in class.

6. It means it is not summer yet

Snowy weather means summer is not close and I can't soak up a tan and swim in the ocean. So WINTER, hurry up.

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.
