Winter is Not a Well-Liked Season, According to Sources

 

Jaycie Clarke, Tenley Wildung, and Joseph Hager are three college students who aren’t particularly fond of winter. “I don’t like the cold,” says Wildung, a first-year psychology major at North Dakota State University. “I’m not the biggest fan… I hate the snow,” adds Hager, a Bismarck State College attendee who’s currently in his second year of his two-year degree.

 

Clarke, however, chooses to look on the positive. Clarke is a first-year architecture major, also attending North Dakota State University. “I love winter activities,” she claims. Clarke’s favorite winter activity is skating. Wildung would say the same. Hager’s favorite activity, however, is snowboarding. His detest for winter has not stopped him from hitting the slopes. “I don’t really do anything else in the winter,” he says.

 

Something many people dislike about winter are the short-lived days. Clarke, for one, does not differ from this group. “I don’t like short days and lack of daylight,” she claims. Further, when asked about her plans for the rest of the winter, she humorously said, “to take vitamin D.”

 

Many people have even made plans to get out of this harsh winter for spring break and travel south in hopes of soaking up some rays. Wildung is one of these people. “I just miss the sun,” she says. She plans to travel to Mexico with her family during her week off of school in March. “I am so excited for that,” she claims.

 

As for the other two, they hope to stay as warm as possible in the few remaining months of the harsh season. “Every year, I tell myself I just have to make it through this season and soon enough it’ll be summer again,” Hager says.

 

A distaste for winter seems to be common among many North Dakota residents. Wildung almost perfectly summed up a majority of the public’s opinions when she claimed, “it just doesn’t make me feel good.”

 

Although North Dakota winters are long and harsh, looking forward to the warm and sunny summer to come seems to make them (almost) bearable. That is, until October rolls around and North Dakota residents have to prepare for another long, cold and snowy winter.
