We Need To Appreciate Winter And Here's Why
Margarette Morehouse

We all hate the cold. Walking to class to have your face freeze off is just one of many the terrible things about the winter. Here are just a few reasons why we should all start to appreciate winter more than we do.

Canceled classes

Every so often we get lucky when our new favorite professor cancels class because they can’t commute from where they actually live.

Clumsy people thrive

Although it may be entertainment watching others constantly slip and fall on the ice, it’s a perfect excuse for clumsy people instead of tripping.

Cute winter dates

Who doesn’t love going ice skating, sledding, cuddling by a fire, or sipping hot chocolate with their special someone?

Driving short distances

If your class doesn’t get canceled and it’s freezing out, you probably won’t get judged for driving to class. ;)

Excuse not to go out

Whether you are skipping class or spending the night in, the cold weather is the perfect excuse to stay in and have a Netflix marathon.

Fuzzy socks

Enough said.

Lets not forget all the fun holidays!

Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, Chinese New Years, Valentine's Day, Groundhog Day, President's Day, Super Bowl Sunday.

More sleep

You can go to bed at 6 p.m. and not feel bad about yourself because it’s already dark out.

No bugs

We don’t have to worry about itching those bug bites after staying outside to long.

Sweater weather

Who doesn’t love wearing a big bulky sweater?

Time to get your beach bod ready

You have time to eat all the yummy winter treats, but don’t have to have your bikini bod ready until spring break! You got time!

Winter break

Almost a month off of school? Okay, I can use that break!

Remembering all these great things about winter could possibly make your winter a little less terrible than usual. Don't forget to bundle up in your big comfy sweater!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
