Being cooped up in the dorm or the library during a huge stressful week of school can make anyone a little crazy. Now that it is finally the weekend, it is no wonder that us collegiettes want to go out and let off a little steam. However, easier said than done. Although the anticipation of going out is at an all time high, the weather is a huge issue. There is also the temptation to just stay in and watch Netflix while being cozy in the dorm. Going out in these harsh winter conditions can be a huge struggle, which leads us to wonder, is it even worth it?
1. Being Warm Vs Looking Cute
It is an understood rule that the winter months are not for short dresses and high heels. However, in college this normal clothing taboo is actually socially acceptable. Let’s be honest there is nothing cute about a huge furry winter jacket. The struggle of trying to look cute while trying to not freeze our a** off trudging to the townhouses is unavoidable and sorry but there is no happy medium.
2. The Fear of Wiping Out
Besides the fact that going out in the
winter is a struggle within itself it can also be dangerous.There is nothing
safe about walking up to the townhouses in 6-inch heels with ice on the ground.
The ultimate fear for any collegiette is wiping out in front of a huge group
of people. But if you do wipe out, it’s OK.
No one saw it. Just walk it off girl, just walk it off.
3. Ruining Your Outfit
In a perfect world those brand new heels that you just brought could withstand any weather conditions. However, this is unfortunately not the case. Due to the harsh weather conditions certain clothing will not make it through the night unscathed. Between walking through the snow in nice clothes and potentially slipping on some ice, accidents and rips are bound to happen.
4. The Fear of Getting Sick
Short dresses and below freezing temperatures are not a good combination for healthy living. Although going out in minimal clothing may seem like a good idea at the time, you may regret it a couple days later when you're suffering from yet another cold. Isn’t the winter great?
5. The Temptation Of Staying In
Although part of you wants to go out and have a good time with your friends, another part of you would be perfectly content just sitting in your bed watching Netflix. In the winter this is the ultimate struggle every weekend. Why go out and freeze while you could be in your warm bed and watch a movie? Pass the popcorn, please!
