Are you someone who prefers the cold or the warm weather? Let’s discuss that today and see how far I can go without making you angry. Fingers crossed it won’t be after the first paragraph, but let’s get right into it shall we.
Autumn
We’ll start here because it’s the current season. When I was younger, I wasn’t super crazy about autumn because I used to believe it just ruined everything by having to go to school again. Well, I’ll admit, it’s grown on me over the years. Which is funny considering it’s the season where everything is dying, but I digress. I’ve gotten more accustomed to the cooler temperature of autumn and with the way trees are changing colours looks gorgeous. It’s also a sign of hockey starting up again, or at least it usually is. And since I’m just another basic Canadian who loves hockey, it’s always fun to look forward to it. So because of all that, it’s a good season.
Winter
This one has had the opposite effect on me. When it starts to snow, as a child, it’s the best. You can go sledding, make snow forts, build snowmen and have snowball fights. Now that I’m an adult, I can’t stand the snow. Driving in it is the absolute worst, scraping off your windshield is tedious; as well as shovelling all the snow, it gets way too cold outside and since I tend to wash my hands a lot, my knuckles crack easily because of the cold. The two things that make winter a little more tolerable is the fact that school goes on pause, or ends depending on the situation and also because of Christmas. Christmas is always a blast for me and I always look forward to it.
Spring
The turning point of each year. Always feels like the light at the end of the tunnel to me. Sun comes out more than in previous months, it starts to get warmer, no more having to wear lots of layers to go outside and the way everything starts to blossom again is beautiful to look at. It doesn’t get bonus points from me because of spring break, but it’s a nice little addition to have thrown in. Plus everybody starts to feel less grumpy and become more upbeat and excited. Which is always a good thing. And playoff hockey and basketball. It’s the best time to watch those two sports. It’s a near-perfect season.
Summer
Summer is the most overrated season of the year. (Insert hot take pun here). But in all honesty, summer really isn’t that enjoyable to me. I know everyone gets time off school and everyone can go outside and enjoy the beach with the hot sun beaming down. But that’s the thing, it’s too hot during the summer. I’m not a fan of the 30+ degree weather that’s a daily occurrence in July and August unless you lived in Prince Rupert last summer. As well as all the bees, wasps, hornets and mosquitos. They’re the absolute worst. The only redeeming factor is that it’s not winter.
