Winter is coming, a popular slogan from the hit show Game of Thrones. However, that saying is true in reality as well. Winter is coming and I am not a big fan the cold Pennsylvania winter.
I have never been a big fan on the winter, or the summer for that matter. I love in-between. I love the slight breeze on your face, the beautiful colors of the leaves changing and most importantly the activities for the fall and spring.
In the last few weeks, it has gone from hot to cold, back to hot now it is downright bone chilling. It is cold season because of that, everyone and their mother on campus right now is sick. But hey, this is life. From what I understand, the cold is here to stay. That in itself, is quite unfortunate.
There are some pros to the cold, however there are many more cons. First of all you can go play in the snow, once it starts. It is every kid’s ideal day, built a snowman, throw some snowballs at cars and then go inside and cuddle up to a nice movie. That sounds like a good day to me. Another great things about the winter, SNOW DAYS. I love getting me a day off because it is too bad outside to drive. That is the greatest part of the winter, however as I mentioned before there are a few more downsides then that.
Downside, no more outdoor sports. It is too cold to go out play football, or soccer or anything really. That is a bummer. There is no more fishing, even bigger bummer. All the fluke and bluefish have swam to warmer waters, but good news the flounder come in during this time!!
Also the fact that is brutally cold, that is a negative in my book. I wear shorts all year round and when it gets to this temperature, you can’t wear shorts, which is unfortunate for me considering it is 95% of my wardrobe. The same goes for sandals, I wear sandals all year round and too, this gets really hard during the cold weather.
The last thing I really can’t stand about the winter, is that you go from hot too cold in almost an instant. You are in a nice toasty building, drinking your hot beverage and then you have to go outside, into the frigid weather. You put on 16 layers to go out for 10 minutes then need to take it off again. I just find it frustrating and usually I end up getting sick because of it.
Old man winter, pack your bags and take a vacation because we don’t want here anymore.
Sincerely
Hunter
