Snow, snow, snow.




















I find myself complaining about winter, all winter long. But then there's days like today. 30 degrees fahrenheit and snowy can never be a bad thing. I love snow but I think cold weather and snow for a month is plenty enough.
I don't know how people can't appreciated the snow. It is so beautiful, fun to play in, gets classes cancelled and makes for a great Instagram photo. It's also notorious for causing people to slip and fall, and today that was the case for me. I was walking to class with my friend Cam. While we were still on the sidewalk in front of my house he turned around to throw a snowball at me, I got scared, shuffled my feet and then fell on my butt. It was quite possibly the funniest thing that has happened to me in the snow, yet pretty painful.






















Winter in Minnesota can sometimes be dreadful but there's many great things that come from it as well.

1.  High, colorful, printed socks.
2.  Laughing at yourself after falling in the snow, only if your closest friends see it.
3.  Fireplaces, candles and cozy blankets.
4.  Watching full seasons of various shows on Netflix.
5.  Cute winter accessories.
6.  Frosted trees in the morning, before the sun melts it away.
7.  Snowboarding, skiing and sledding. Speaking of sledding, I tried sledding in my front yard on the        first day it snowed this winter...let's just say I'm gonna have to give it another go.
8.  Looking forward to going to Texas for spring break.
9.  Hot cocoa, coffee and apple cider.
10.  Classes cancelled and Snow days! Although, it's a rare occasion. 

And for the people who wear glasses, the number one bad thing about winter: Your glasses fogging up when you walk into a warm building. There's no hope because you can't see with them on and you can't see without them on.

Let's all cross our fingers for no school tomorrow. Keep the snow comin'!

  1. Beautiful photos, girl! Sometimes it is hard to find the joy in winter, but I think you've found some points to ponder! I often think that winter could be so much more appreciated if I lived in the country-the snow actually stays white and pristine, rather than getting muddy and such. But it can be pretty in the city too, as shown by your pictures :)
