Since I can remember, Winter has always been my least favorite season. When I was little I played in the snow, but when I was able to make decisions for myself, I decided to only face the cold when I needed to walk to the car. For the past 19 years of my life, this has not been an issue.

In high school, I walked 10 feet into the entrance of the school building and I was warm. I didn't even need a coat because I was picked up and dropped off. But then, this thing called college happened, and everything changed.

I go to a pretty small campus, and it takes about 10 minutes to get from one side to another. So I really don't know how everyone on huge college campuses does it. But now, I actually have to go outside, and I really hate it. It just gives me one more thing to think about when I'm in bed and not wanting to go to class.

I don't want to get food because I will have to walk outside, I don't want to go to the gym because I have to go outside, and so many other things.

I never realized how much I truly hate the winter until I got back from Christmas break and had to deal with what actual cold weather feels like. And with this cold weather comes sickness, and since you're literally living in the same hallway as people, the sickness spreads so fast. Every time my friend says that they're feeling sick, I get thrown into a panic. I already need my daily nap when I'm healthy, I can't imagine how much I will want to stay in bed if I end up getting sick.

I'm tired of wearing snow boots, of being able to see my breath even after I've been in the car for five minutes, and I'm tired of bundling up in layers and STILL BEING SO FREAKING COLD. And then once you enter into an academic building the heat is on so high that you will literally sweat for your entire class unless you strip down to your underwear. We've all considered it.

Needless to say, I need the warm weather back. I want to be able to see the grass, go to the beach, and I want it to be above sixty degrees on a normal basis.
