Why Winter Is Actually Better Than Summer

Why Winter Is Actually Better Than Summer

In the midst of winter, most people like to complain about the horrors that come with the snow. People don't like cold weather that is so brutal it hurts your face. They also aren't fans of the fact that it gets dark almost as soon as the sun comes up. Of course, it's nice to be home for the summer months to be with my family and friends, and it's amazing to have no school for months at a time. With the pros and cons in mind,

I would much rather spend my time digging out my car in 3-feet of snow than spend it in hot, humid weather.

When it's cold, you can at least cover yourself up in as many layers of clothing as you want and no one will judge you. You can cuddle with a boat-load of blankets and wrap yourself up in as much softness as you want. There's delicious hot drinks like hot chocolate, tea, and coffee that can warm you up in almost in instant. When it's hot, there's not really a lot you can do to relieve that gross sweaty state of being. Yes, you can take cold showers and enjoy iced, cold drinks, but ultimately, you're just going to get hot again.

Being a college student during the summer months is also a bit more difficult than being a college student during the winter. When it's summer, you may have a part-time or full-time job, but once you're done with the job for the day, you just go right back home and wither in the dry heat and humidity. For me personally, I get bored extremely easily. There's only so much you can do when you don't have an actual job yet or have school. When it's winter, college students have plenty of things to do. From homework and studying for tests and quizzes to trying to maintain a normal social life to maybe working a part-time job, we have a lot on our plate. There's never really a chance for a college student in the winter months to be bored, since there is always something we need to do.

Summer is boring for college kids.


Hanging out with my family and friends is definitely what makes summer amazing, but is it worth it to suffer in the heat and boredom 90% of the time? Not really.

I actually do not mind gliding down the snow-filled and icy roads. I prefer that any day to getting a severe sunburn from just stepping outside for two minutes in the summer heat.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
