Thoughts on winter

Seasons are one of those funny things that, experiencing them every single year, we should get used to at some point. Nonetheless, I have some thoughts:

1. I really need to get some new clothing that is appropriate for temperatures below 0°C, especiallly for January and February. At the moment, I have a lined jacket that's water and wind repellent that I really like but below zero it will be too cold. I recently bought a turtleneck long sleeve and I am goint to get some more of those because my closet mostly contains t-shirts.

2. I am thinking about if I should continue going to school (and most places) by bike or if I should switch to transit for the next few months. On one hand, it would kind of hurt my pride but then again I am honestly too sensitive for the temperatures. I am also slightly concerned about safety but I don't want to give up being independent from transit schedules or traffic and so on...

3. I am so excited about being able to buy mulled wine and caramellized almonds everywhere, also, winter-themed teas are my favourite thing in the world. My mom got me a tea advent calendar and there's so many christmas-y teas in it. I love it!

4. For me, the worst thing about winter is the fact that no one wants to go outside, so being social gets even more complicated. I'm going to need to invite some people over to my own house every once in a while I guess.

What do you like and dislike about winter?

Have a great day!
