Reasons to Love the Winter Season

It happens once a year. The weather becomes cold and snowflakes fall from the sky. Everyone is in their warm clothes and trying to survive the 20-degree weather. It happens in the months of December and January and it’s called Winter.

Winter season is among us and there’s some many things to look forward to the cold and glorious season.

After the fall comes in and takes all the leaves from the trees and leaves the branches bare, winter comes in and puts ice on the branches. In addition to the ice, snow also becomes a part of the trees as well as the grass.

With the new addition of the snow, people join the winter wonderland. Kids and even adults participate in the annual snowball fights. Individuals likewise make snowmen and snow angels to display on their front and backgrounds.

The one great thing about the winter season is the holidays. People get to celebrate Christmas as well as New Years with family and friends. In addition, other religions also celebrate their holiday traditions during this time as well.

Another holiday tradition is going Christmas shopping. Getting the best holiday deals are always a plus this time of the year. Every store has their special sales and it makes the holidays even better to find cheap and cute holiday clothes.

In addition to Christmas shopping for yourself, the winter season is also a time to buy last minute gifts for friends and loved ones. The most exciting adventure is going shopping to find gifts that make the people around you feel special and appreciated.

My favorite part about the winter season is of course the hot beverages. There is nothing like sipping on a hot and steaming latte or hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Starbucks will forever be my go to for hot beverages and everybody else’s as well. Everyone rushes into Starbucks just to get the famous red cup for the holidays.

In addition to the red cups, people come and get their favorite holiday drinks including the Caramel Brulée Latte, the Eggnog latte, the Gingerbread Latte and many more holiday favorites.

The winter season is also great because it is a good time to absolutely do nothing. Since the weather outside is frightful it is wonderful to just relax in the warm house sitting by the fire place.

In addition, it’s the perfect time to catch up on some shows on Netflix or just snuggle up with a blanket and watch a few movies, especially holiday ones.

However you enjoy the winter season, make sure it is a marvelous one.

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.
