22 Reasons to Dread This Winter

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

1. Driving is basically impossible

 

2. Water actually freezes instantly

3. This has actually happened

 

4. Walking can get tough

5. And it feels like you’re getting b*itch slapped by the wind 24/7

6. Slipping on ice happens at least once…

7. …or twice

8. …sometimes three times a day

9. Walking down the street feels like a five mile trek

10. LSD is not a place you want to be- ever!

11.  Going outside is like going into a war zone

12. You try to shield yourself but nothing helps

13. And eventually you just end up walking around like this

14. If you commute anywhere, your car may be hard to get to

15. So you have to spend a half hour shoveling it out…

16. …and brushing it off

17. And even that might not work so you have to do this…

18. But that’s better then walking outside and seeing your car covered in ice

19. It’s even hard to walk out your front door

20. Waiting for the CTA is brutal

21. Walking anywhere is like climbing Mount Everest

22. And even when the snow somewhat melts, you’re stuck walking in slush

But in the end, we all know that we can never leave because despite the horrible winter, Chicago is still the most beautiful city in the world.
