13 Things To Keep You Motivated Through The Last Few Cold Weeks Before Summer

Some people love winter time but I am not one of those people. I can't stand the snow. I don't fancy the freezing temperatures. I hate walking out to my car in the morning to start it 20 minutes before I leave just so it runs like it's supposed to on the way to work.

So here's a list of 13 things I'm looking forward to as the weather begins to warm up.

1. No more seasonal depression... AND I REPEAT, NO MORE SEASONAL DEPRESSION

Winter puts you in a funk that seems impossible to get out of when you have to wake up and look at dirt colored snow every day for what seems like 10 months.

2. Fishing

All of your favorite things to do can be done once again!

3. Walking to your car at night and NOT freezing your butt off

I don't know about you, but I'm thankful for small favors. So thanks, mother nature.

4. Slow pitch softball

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion... but I am totally excited to catch the ball that the big dude thinks he's going to hit over the fence.

5. Concerts

Luke Combs, Brad Paisley, and any other ticket I can get my hands on... I can't wait.

6. Bonfires

It doesn't get better than hanging out with friends, listening to music, and drinking a cold one next to a bonfire on a clear winter night.

7. T-shirts and jean shorts

T-shirt and jean short season is coming y'all... just wait on it.

8. Going to the lake/beach

... and riding jet skis and tubing.

9. Graduation parties

This may be another unpopular opinion, but I can't wait to see my friends and family graduate from high school and college in May!

10. Fairs, festivals, and flea markets

It doesn't get much better than stopping at your local fair so they can hook you up with some awesome fair food.

11. Getting a tan

Seemingly overrated, but it's definitely one of my most favorite things about summer.

12. Sunsets

Not that we don't have sunsets in the winter time, but now you can sit on the tail gate of a truck and watch the sun set.

13. No more layers

Instead of bundling up in layers and stripping them off every time you step in the door, you can just throw on flip flops, a tank top and some shorts.

I know it's tough waiting on the warm weather to come, but this list should motivate you to kick butt during these last few weeks of the cold weather!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
