Winter Is Coming...

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.” -Carl Reiner

Apparently, despite it being Spring, Winter isn't ready to let go of the East Coast just yet.  Even though it is almost April, we are still getting snow. Being a West Coast girl at heart, I'm not sure I'm down with these late snow storms...

Just a light frosting in late March...

I thought senoritis would be a product of not wanting to go to class on beautiful sunny days, but I was wrong. Trekking through the snow, slush, and puddles makes it really difficult to get excited about school and work.

I really am getting a lot of wear out of my rain boots. When I came East as a freshman from California, I had no idea how much I would need to invest in a quality pair of boots. After the first two weeks of school (which included numerous torrential rainstorms) I wised up. These things saved my life...

On these dreary days I am really focused on comfort... comfort food, music, books, movies, ect.

After studying abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland, I really started to get into tea. It's been over a year since I've been back in the states and my pantry is stocked with green, camomile, and mint tea. It's the perfect drink on the rainy and snowy days that have become way too common.

Tea is my best friend. 

Right now, my music rotation is a super relaxed rainy day mix. I'm listening to a lot of Ben Howard, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, and Iron and Wine. It's the perfect mood music for the cold and icy outdoors. I'm playing right into the weather-I've also gone through more books in the last week than I have in the last two months of school. If I had a fireplace in my apartment it would be going all damn day and night. 

Hopefully this is the last big snowstorm of the year and we'll finally get some sun!
