I know, It's Cold Outside

Baby, it’s cold outside … Yes, I’m aware thank you.

In case you haven’t noticed the weather has stopped being unseasonably warm, so now we can go back to making statuses about how cold it is. If you are like me you will be buried underneath blankets until June, unless of course you are one of those tough guys that think it is a good idea to jump into a pile of snow barely clothed. You do it for the vine, right?

Even if your state hasn’t gotten any snow yet you probably have your winter coat handy and whatever hat/scarf/gloves you found lying around that you claimed as your own. As the temperatures drop to lower than your age, you wish it were summer so you can go back to complaining about how your ice cream is melting.

If you do not go to a school like Fordham University and actually have to step outside to get to class, I sympathize with you. Well, unless you thought that it was a good idea to step outside in 10-degree weather in a t-shirt. When you do venture outside you won’t even need to check your weather app because everyone on social media will be making a status about the obvious weather forecast.

Gotta love the Snapchat weather filter

There are some plus sides to braving the cold weather every year and freezing to death. There is always the lingering chance that class will get cancelled due to a snowstorm or because cities over-panic about a blizzard that doesn’t even come (I’m looking at you NYC). We also don’t have to deal with getting eaten alive by mosquitos on a daily basis or getting sunburned to the point that it isn’t even funny anymore. Plus it is great bonding weather as you force people (and dogs) to snuggle with you!

Winter is a season that literally comes every year (be quiet, Florida) so we should not be all that surprised that it is cold in January. We survive it every year with our Instagram posts of hot chocolate and snowy backyards. Most of our weekend plans probably are avoiding going outside and hoping our heater doesn’t malfunction. It toughens us up so we can yell at our southern friends who complain that 50 degrees is cold weather. Feel free to keep on complaining that it is cold out in order to bond with the person in the elevator. It’ll be summer before you know it.
