Winter comes every year, yet every year I question why it does come. Wouldn't life be better if it was just warm all the time, I can only imagine. If you are a true summer person like I, you can probably relate and are probably at one of these stages.

1. Being ready for bonfires, hot chocolate, and snow

When summer is long gone and we are approaching winter, although we are sad, winter brings a lot of exciting things. Late night bonfires, large consumptions of hot chocolate, and our inner child coming out when building snowmen are all things that we can look forward too.

2. Sweater Weather

After showing off skin all summer, it’s time to cover up and what better thing to cover up with them a sweater. Each year the clothes in our closets go from every color tank top with every color and pattern of sweaters. One can never have enough sweaters, right?

3. Hooray for snow day!

We pray long and hard for these days. When we wake up to the email that classes are cancelled due to snow. Not only do you not have to get out of bed and go into a lecture but you get to lounge around all day and not feel bad about it.

4. Bubble bath & Netflix binge

Bubble baths are great, bubble baths while watching a new Netflix series is even better. I mean why not?

5. OK I'm freezing

Ok, it was nice until Christmas...News flash Christmas is over and I’m ready for the sunshine and my tank tops back in my closet. Now, it’s a new semester and I’m drowning in assignments and have nowhere to escape to where I won’t get frostbite.

6. Why won't this snow melt, I hate my house

My hunter boots are starting to form to my feet. I’m tired of walking like a baby deer on this icy ground. I have also re-arranged my bedroom six times and I still hate how it looks.

7. Sunshine, Where are you?

Dear Sunshine,

I miss you. I miss you a lot. I miss the days that you warmed me up. I think that’s you up there but it doesn’t feel like the real you. Please come back to us.

Sincerely, a frozen girl.

8. I've run out of Netflix shows

I’ve watched Grey’s Anatomy twice now..yeah you heard me correctly. I don’t think I can take it anymore. I have nothing left to watch, I’ve seen it all.

9. I'm SO pale

I’ve tried a spray tan, tanning bed, tanning lotion, even laying out on that random day in December when it hit 65, nothing is lasting. I look like a ghost and I’m honestly not okay with it.

10. Longing for the beach

I’ve caught myself looking back at old photos way too much. Not just any old photos, photos of me and friends on the beach. I am seriously having withdrawals of salt water, and hot sand.

11. One way ticket to California

I've also considered walking there...

12. Rethinks life

I always thought I would always stay where I am now but I don’t think I can take another winter. Why does winter even exist? Please, someone, tell me.
