15 Thoughts a Southern Girl Has in a Boston Snowstorm

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

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if a penguin walked past me right now.

Seriously are we still in North America? This looks like Antarctica.

 

There are so many activities you can do in the snow and I want to try every single one.

Sledding, ice-skating, building a snowman, snow angels, snowball fights…the list never ends.

 

Never mind… all of those things involve being in the cold and touching snow. I’ll just go in my warm bed and watch movies.

These activities would be fun if snow wasn’t cold. And wet.

 

Why is it getting dark at 4pm? Where is the sun?

Where does it go so early?

 

How is that girl wearing heels? And tights?

I have about four layers on and that’s not even enough.

 

Thank you Snapchat for the temperature filter, this never fails to shock my friends from home.

Ten degrees is definitely story worthy.

 

This is a great excuse for Starbucks.

Nothing warms you up like a Venti Chai Tea Latte!

 

Well, my gloves are too thick to hold my drink. And I can’t text.

Such a bummer.

 

Shout out to my overprotective mother for making me bring long underwear, under armor, and thick socks. 

Even though I’m still reluctant to break out the long underwear…

 

If I see one more picture of my high school friends wearing shorts and t-shirts to class today I am going to cry.

Stop rubbing it in!!

 

How am I going to avoid slipping on the random patches of black ice?

I’m taking baby steps!

 

Just fell and spilled everything. I guess it’s unavoidable. 

At least I finished my drink before!

 

A selfie of me in the snow would probably get a lot of Instagram likes though…

Pics or it didn’t happen!

 

My lips, face, and body have never felt so dry…never thought I’d say this but where is the humidity?

I almost miss having frizzy hair and constantly being sweaty!

 

It’s okay, I can get through this. I’ll just summon my inner Elsa.
