5 Worst Things about the Month of January

YouTube

I hope everyone is doing well in this first month of 2019. It is very cold here in PA, but I'm thriving. Sadly though, I hate the month of January. It is always one of my busiest months of the year and I NEVER want to do anything during it. Nothing against starting off a new year, but I hate January. It's one of my least favorite months of the year and I'll tell you why. Today I'm going to list my five reasons as to why January isn't so great.

1. The Cold

January is by FAR the coldest month of the year. Once December is over, I want warmth. I think once the holidays are over there should be no more cold weather because it sucks. This is the time of year where it is always cloudy and below 40 degrees outside, and I can't handle it. I'm sure no one would rather have this weather than having nice warm breezes of spring outside.

2. The Snow

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the snow. Snow is my favorite. You can play in it, eat it (eh), and it gets you out of school. I just feel like there is too much of it during this time of year. Give me one good snow storm and I'll be okay. After that I don't want to hear about it. I don't want the roads to be icy for more than a day or two, and I don't want to be stuck in my house all day because I can't get out. There's a snowstorm coming up soon and it'll probably have passed once this is up, but quite frankly I am not ready for it.

3. New Years Resolutions

I already broke my New Years resolutions and honestly, I'm upset with myself. I think I have eaten even more junk food and slept less since the 1st of January. I'm trying to, but I just have no motivation during this time of year. I wake up to cloudy weather and it doesn't make me feel motivated to start out my day. Also I hate New Years resolutions because it makes me feel obligated to change something about me in life. I hate socials norms.

4. The Lack of Sun

I have mentioned this already, but the lack of sun on dreary days here in PA are the worst. I don't want to go out, I don't want to move, I just want to do nothing. I have winter blues which is a form of anxiety/depression where the lack of sun tends to make you feel more down than other days. I have gotten better with it over the years, but it still sucks. It's currently dark out right now and the sun isn't shining or anywhere in sight. I really can't wait for summer to come because I NEED sunlight.

5. Going Back to School

HA I don't go back to school until February 10th, but still this sucks. I hate feeling the anxiety of going back to school. Once I get there I'll be fine, but it is just the transition of going from home to school after a long break. It's the worst feeling in the world, and I could not imagine having the week long break that my friends in high school had this year. That is just so short compared to the two months that I have. I'm telling you, this is a first world problem and we need to solve it.

I really hope you enjoyed reading about why I hate January. Very negative topic today, but in a sense I feel like we all feel some of these reasons deep down inside, and we just don't acknowledge it. Nothing ever happens in January that is great. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a month of January lol. Sure there are NFL playoff games on, but who the hell wants to watch the Patriots for another year fighting to get into the Super Bowl? Not this guy.

Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely week, and I'll see you guys next time with a new article.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
