Winter Blues

By: Katie Stirling

Winter can feel like the longest season sometimes. About the middle of January is when it really starts to get annoying. I, along with many others, enjoy the summer weather a lot more than cold weather.

After the holidays are over, the months tend to feel longer. The weather starts to get very cold and snowy. Many people start to look forward to warm weather and spring. Especially when you live in Iowa, you never know when that warm weather will arrive. It could be as early as March or as late as May, it just depends on the year.

The summer is much more enjoyable for me for many reasons. Because of the warm weather, you can spend much more time outside. There are so many things to do outside. I especially like to kayak, camp, play games, go swimming, etc.

During the summer months, you don’t have to go to school. This break from school is very nice and stress-relieving. Although there are many things going on in both the summer and winter, school is one less thing you don’t have to worry about during the summer. It’s nice to have a little more free time for a couple of months.

I enjoy the summer months more than others mainly because of the warm weather. This creates more opportunities to have fun and more things to do. Although it’d be nice to have this last for a longer amount of time, every summer has to end.
