66 Thoughts Every Summer-Loving UW Student Has in November

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Wyoming chapter.

So. Let me get this straight. I grew up in a suburb of San Diego, where the “coldest” it ever got in “winter” was like…58 degrees. I mean, at four in the morning, it’d hit 37 and if for whatever ungodly reason I was awake at that hour, I’d wear gloves, a wool hat, fuzzy socks, Uggs, and a parka. And then I came to Wyoming, one of the coldest climates in the WORLD, and my idea of winter changed just a tad.

  1. Okay, let’s try to be optimistic about this! Colder weather means more clothes, am I right?!

  2. Plus, scarves, pea coats and boots. Nuff said!

  3. Oh my gosh, seriously, 30 degrees?!

  4. Gonna need a lot of scarves…

  5. Just kidding, yoga pants and Uggs it is!

  1. I may be “basic” (is that still a thing?) but I’m comfier than you.

  2. Where is the coffee. Someone find me some coffee.

  1. Uggs are NOT suitable for walking on ice.

  2. I repeat, NOT suitable!!

  3. May or may not have just totally broken my tailbone. Like really, ow.

  4. It’s okay, everybody falls, right? It’s slippery!

  5. Wow, hello, man wearing gym shorts and a sweatshirt.

  6. You’re cool.

  7. Literally cool, because you’re probably freezing your butt off!

  8. Haha. I’m so funny.

  9. I seriously should have my own reality show.

  1. Ew, they never show the gross dirty slushy snow in the movies.

  2. Ew ew ew go away!!!

  3. Finally, some coffee!

  4. Elixir of life, get me through today.

  5. Ughhh…wishing it was summer right about now!

  6. I mean, would I appreciate summer as much if I didn’t make it through the winter?

  7. ummm…let me think…

  8. YES

  9. Okay but snow is so beautiful. Like, really, it looks like a postcard outside!

  10. A postcard from Narnia!

  11. Where’s Mr. Tumnus? I love that guy.

  12. Seriously, so cute.

  1. Ahhh, snow is falling! So pretty!!!

  2. Seriously, where are the cameras?! Somebody needs to film this perfect girl-in-coffee-shop-looking-at-snow-falling scene.

  3. Woah…those flakes are fat.

  4. Definitely don’t want to walk home in that sh*t right now.

  5. Better stay here until it stops…helloooo seven more lattes.

  6. Oh my gosh, it’s a blizzard! I can’t believe people pay to be out in this up in the mountains at ski resorts and stuff.

  7. “Let’s pay a ridiculous amount of money to slide down an icy hill with metal sticks attached to our feet, that will be so fun! Yay gravity and frigid conditions!” I just don’t get it.

  8. Now beaches I understand. The sand, the sun, the waves; and the way the seagulls majestically attack the remnants of the snacks I devoured while sunbathing.

  9. Nothing better.

  10. Oh alright. I guess skiing is okay.

  11. I’m just totally not athletic or beautiful enough to somehow look like anything but the abominable snowman when I’m outside in this stuff.

  1. Like, those “snow bunny” type girls boggle my mind.

  2. Look at how perfect that girl’s hair looks right now. And that’s after wearing that cute beanie. Sheesh! The beauty!

  3. Hello ma’am, yes, how do you look so perfect all the time?! Teach me your snow bunny ways.

  4. It took me like 3 weeks to remember to wear waterproof mascara when it snowed.

  5. I need help.

  6. I would probably be super good at watching people ski, from inside, with a glass of red wine and a big fluffy blanket.

  7. Speaking of wine…too bad they don’t sell wine here.

  8. It’s noon on a Tuesday, woman. Calm yo’self.

  9. Also, tipsy me + icy sidewalk + walk home = disaster. We’ve been over this, time and time again…

  10. In summer we totally could have. Totally.

  11. Ah well, another latte!

  12. Okay, focus! I have a paper to finish!

  13. Hey, this paper isn’t so bad.

  14. Staying inside might just be my forte. “Queen of Coffee Drinking and Essay Writing!”

  1. Better add “Slipping on Ice” to that title, the bruise on my butt may never go away.

  2. Some people just aren’t built for winter, I guess.

  3. Hence the three pairs of pants and two jackets I am currently wearing.

  4. Aaaand, the snow stopped! Yay!!

  5. Time to go home and be even more studious…

  6. …or watch thirteen episodes of Friends…Nobody will ever know…

  7. Ahh, the great outdoors! Look, you can see my breath!

  8. Seriously this is so pretty.

  9. Almost worth the lack of warmth.

  10. Almost.

  11. Do I even have fingers anymore? Or a nose?

  12. Okay, repeat after me, right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot. No slipping this time.

  13. Ahhh, home. Another successful snow day in the books!
