Spring is fast approaching and I couldn't be happier.

• Dry, flaky skin.
  • Especially on my face and my hands.
  • Overly dry skin thus leads to break outs. Ugh.
• Dry, damaged, static-filled hair.
  • And, consequently, all the money spent on conditioning treatments.
• Goosebumps.
• Runny noses.
• Overcast skies.
  • Vitamin D deficiency from the lack of sunlight!
• The wind.
  • This has been the windiest winter in my memory. It makes the cold feel so much worse.
• The 10 minute walks to class.
  • Having my eyes dry up and tears stream down my face.
  • Having my nose turn BRIGHT red and stay that way throughout the whole class.
• Having to wait for my car to warm up.
• Not being able to drive with my windows down.
  • The dry air of the heater, even worse for my already dry skin!
• Wearing multiple layers to bed.
• The extra laundry that comes with all those multiple layers.
• Always having to wear socks.
• The lack of green, growing things to marvel at.
• Dealing with people's bad moods due to seasonal depression.
• Not being able to utilize the outdoor patios at my favorite eateries.
• ULTRA pale skin.
  • I like having fair skin but in the winter I'm practically translucent.
• Numb toes & fingers.
• The spike in my electric bill as result of trying to heat my old, drafty apartment.
• Parking on the street and living in the city when it snows = 3 feet of snow thrown onto your car when the plows come by, trapping you and rendering you immobile for days.
• How awful, ugly and dirty snow gets after that first day of it being pure and pristine.
