The worst season ever is coming. If you're an anti-winter person, you'll definitely identify with these signs:
1. You're avoiding breaking out your winter clothes.
It seems like you wait the whole year to break out your sandals and shorts, but time flies when you're having fun. Before you know it, it's time to wear those ugly snow boots that make your feet hurt and a huge jacket that makes you look twice your size. (But hey, if it keeps me warm, I'll take it.)
2. The thought of snow makes you cringe.
Winter equals snow. Snow equals cold. And ice. And not being able to drive. And slipping on the sidewalks in front of everyone you know. Snow, just don't even bother coming.
3. The 4:30 p.m. sunsets are killing your vibe.
Where did the day go? Oh right, it started before anyone was close to waking up and ended before I had the chance to do anything productive. How am I supposed to be bright and present when the sun sets before I have a chance to live.
4. The season literally takes forever.
Sometimes winter only lasts for three months. Sometimes, it decides to rule the world and lasts for months and months. If we go through one more year with snow in the middle of April, I will cry.
5. Hot showers are the most important part of your day.
You crave those 10 minutes of complete warmth under a burning faucet. You wish you could stay in that warmth forever, but unfortunately you have roommates and can't hog all of it.
6. Getting out of your warm bed is the worst feeling ever.
When you're snuggled up under warm, fuzzy blankets and wake up realizing you have to leave it. I can't think of a bigger tragedy.
7. You constantly think about moving somewhere warm.
To avoid this awful season, you often resort to thinking about the beaches in the Caribbean or the warm cities in Southern California. Then you realize you live in Snow Central and a warm place is nothing more than a figment of your imagination.
8. You're not looking forward to buying dozens of tissue boxes.
Cold season is upon us. Prepare for runny-noses and constant coughing. Joy.
9. Or bottles of lotion.
Dry skin on dry skin. Need I say more?
10. You cannot wait to see the green grass again.
Much like your thoughts of living in a warm place, you daydream about the leaves growing on trees, the ice melting on water and the snow melting everywhere. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts.
11. Winter break is just never long enough.
One month of winter break is great and all, but then you have to face school again. On break you can't make plans for beach trips or amusement parks. You stay inside and watch the snow fall, knowing you have to attend classes again in a matter of weeks. It's a depressing break, really.
