Reasons To Get Outside This Winter Break
Carter Blockwitz

Winter is a beautifully cold season in which any self-respecting student would rather veg-out on the couch and binge Netflix, than go outside. Natural Parks and Reserves in Wisconsin aren't just for summer months, and instead can have breathtaking sites of ice and snow that make Wisconsin look like it's own wonderland. Here are some reasons to get out and explore this winter break:


1. Get Some Fresh Air

Getting outside is a good mental break from whatever you are binging, and you can initiate a snowball fight.


2. Exercise

Hear me out! The most generic idea can have some benefits, including keeping up some muscle from the summertime months. A few tracks in the snow and your legs and butt will be feeling it.


3. Cheap Thrills

There is something thrilling about playing in the snow like your a 5-year-old again.

4. Adventure

You find little cafés, small towns, and strange places. Cell signal may not be on this adventure with you.



5. Explore The Great Views of Wisconsin

Wisconsin is known for it's cliffs and bluffs around the Dells area, and the sights are gorgeous. Add a quiet, white-landscape as far as they eye can see and you will have a picture perfect image.

6. A Trip Any College Student Could Afford

All you need on this trip is good friends, a road map, and tunes.


7. Quality Time

Whether in a big group or just your best friend, it's good quality time together on the open road.

No matter what gets you out and moving, do it. Enjoy the little things and the beautiful sights Wisconsin has to offer before break ends. It will be worth it, just don't forget to bundle 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.

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.
