100 word rant: Winter

Let’s be real, winter is unquestionably better than summer. Who actually wants to live in 100-degree weather all the time? Summer comes with sweat, sunburns, that horrible smell on public transit, and, to top it all off, utterly annoying mosquitoes. Summer vacations can be enjoyable, but at what cost? Winter breaks on the other hand, can be even more gratifying. The warm hot cocoa, the snowfall, the gift giving, the ugly Christmas sweaters. Let’s not forget, no matter how cold it gets, you can always layer up. Compare the two and tell me which is better—if you still stand with summer, I’m genuinely concerned.

Lolera Tesema, Opinions Editor
When she’s not too busy being a master at finding people’s look-alike or sharing her opinion despite not being asked to, you can find Lolera critiquing study cafes more than she’s actually studying. Or, you’ll catch her reorganizing her Notion and Pinterest boards for the 58th time while sipping the Pumpkin Spice Latte she successfully convinced the Starbucks worker to make ... despite it being 97 degrees in summer.
