The Love/ Hate Relationship With Winter

Winter is a magical time of year full of hot cocoa, Christmas movies, the bitter cold, and daylight savings time. Everyone has their own opinions when it comes to this season, some mourn the return of the brisk temptress while others rejoice that they can start layering their outfits like crazy. So clearly there is a common love/hate relationship with Winter and all that pertains to it but if you are on the fence, it is ok because we are too.

Love

  1. It is socially acceptable to have coffee for breakfast, lunch and dinner with excuse of “needing to stay warm."
  2. You do not have to shave your legs once a day, now you can suffice with once a week or less because no one is going to see how truly lazy your are through your leggings.
  3. You can bust out your favorite leggings, and yes they can be considered pants.
  4. As the temperatures drop that means you are closer to being out of school and home with your family for holidays, the laziest and most joyous time of the year.
  5. For this short period of time, we the pale folk (those who will never EVER tan) are not judged for our lack of bronze glow.
  6. The endless amount of Christmas cookies you can eat. No worries, Santa is not judging.
  7. Christmas. Enough said.
  8. There are no bugs. Mosquitoes are not a thing at least for four more months. PRAISE JESUS!
  9. Pulling your winter coat out of the closet and finding $20 in your pocket. Wow, winter, you is giving.
  10. With winter comes the possibility of snow, and although living in the south means the chances are slim just possibility gives us enough hype.

Hate

  1. It is pitch black at 5 p.m..
  2. The flu is among us, and who actually gets flu shots anyways? No one, that is who.
  3. Glasses getting fogged is a common occurrence and it is a pain in the butt, this is the only time of the year you wish you wore contacts.
  4. I live in the South for a reason, I want to not freeze walking to class everyday.
  5. You are constantly cold.
  6. Winter clothes inhale all kinds of stank and are not as washer friendly as cute summer dresses.
  7. Getting out of bed in the morning is close to impossible.
  8. The stress that comes with layering: how much is too much?
  9. Everyone goes into hibernation and no one wants to be social.
  10. For the pumpkin lovers: RIP to the pumpkin spice latte, but have no fear, you only have to wait 12 more months to get your PSL on.

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.

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.
