Winter? No thanks.

Today is January 23rd and we are pretty much in the dead of winter, and I hate it. On Friday we experienced the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Winter is just a horrible season, and it's so long! I feel like summer lasts about three months and winter lasts about six months. There are so many reasons why I hate winter and I bet you would agree with me on a few of them. I completely hate having to warm up my car every morning before I go to school. This is the first year that I drive myself to school and of course my car isn't good enough to get a garage stall over my parents' cars so Tina the Taurus is stuck outside all night long. Then every morning I have to run out to Tina in the freezing cold to start her. And it's such a waste of gas! I also hate driving on icy or snowy roads. I've had my license for about seven months but Tina doesn't have four wheel drive and it's scary to drive on winter roads. Another reason why I hate winter is that you have to get all bundled up before stepping a foot outside. I hate having to put on my gloves, hat, and coat before going outside. I just want to wear jeans and a t-shirt! Also, I don't like that you can't do anything outside. You can't play sports or just hangout. In the winter your options for hangout spots with friends are: a movie, chill at home, bowling, or the YMCA. Let's face it, movies are expensive, chilling at home is boring, bowling is not fun unless you're an allstar bowler, and the YMCA is flooded with little kids. The worst thing about winter is when there's a blizzard going on outside and school is still in session. I'm going to share a little story that happened to me on Friday morning as I was walking into school when it was literally freezing out. First of all we should have been delayed that day because of the low temperatures and high windshield. Second of all I didn't have time for breakfast because I thought there'd be a delay so I slept in. So, on my way into the school I was eating a froot by the foot and it literally froze. I was outside for 60 seconds and it froze in my hand! You could break it off into pieces. Freezing temperatures are horrible, driving in the winter is horrible, and well winter itself is just horrible. And that's what I have to say about winter.
