Winter Is Wonderful And Your Argument Is Invalid

Winter is the amazing time of the year where people brave the cold, bundle up inside, can drink hot chocolate without the worry of sweating, and can literally just use the excuse "it's too cold" if they don't want to move. This season is for the lazy ones, the lovers of nature, the snuggly ones, and the hungry ones. Winter is wonderful, here's why, and your argument is invalid.

1. Snow.

It's majestic. It's riveting. It's so beautiful. I love how snow sounds, that little crunch when you walk on it. I love how peaceful it looks while it's falling. I love how it can turn into chaos once it comes down harder. I love how puppies look when they play in it. Look at it.


2. It gives you an excuse to stay inside all day.

Let's wear fuzzy pajamas and socks and cuddle up under blankets while drinking hot chocolate and binge watching Netflix. This is much more acceptable in winter than any other season. You don't even have to leave your house, and no one will shame you for not going outside to enjoy the weather.


3. Cancellations.

Winter is God's gift to us for the hell that is summer. What gets cancelled because it's too hot? Baseball games. That's not fun. What gets cancelled because it's too cold? Work. School. The things that no one actually wants to go to because of the weather.


4. Fashion.

Because there is none. No one judges that huge puffy coat that goes down to your knees -- they're wishing they had one. Your over-sized fluffy ear muffs? Where did you get them? Ah, direct me towards the website where you ordered your ugly but practical snow boots.


5. Snow. Again.

6. Winter break and the holiday season.

A month off of school filled with holiday goodies and seeing your family? Score. You get to stay in with hot, home-cooked meals and snuggling with your pets. Summer just calls for Popsicles and sweating your makeup off. You can't snuggle in summer unless you want to share sweat and BO.


7. Blankets.

Fuzzy. Soft. Big. Quilts. Electric ones. Blankets are an extremely underrated product. I'll walk around my dorm with a blanket and a robe on, and you bet everyone who sees me is way too jealous.


8. Symbols.

I think that snowflakes, snowmen, snow angels, Christmas trees, ornaments, whatever else represents winter to you, are so darn cute.


9. Animals.

Now, where I'm from, I don't see some of these animals ever. But let's just appreciate some of these adorable winter-y animals that bless our hearts.


10. Activities.

Sledding, ice skating, snow men, snow angels, skiing, you name it. Winter is full of them.


11. I don't have to shave or look good...ever.

I have an extra coat on my legs and don't have to worry about my makeup or hair because it's covered by the multitude of layers that I have on.


Happy winter!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
