So if you live somewhere with an actual “winter” (damn you, Floridians and Southern Californians!), then you know how much it sucks, especially by March, to deal with snow as an adult. Sure, it’s all fun and games when you’re a kid with snow days and sled riding and building snowmen, but when you have to wake up extra early to clean your car off and drive with a-holes on the road, it’s no walk in the park (probably because the park is covered with too much snow, too). We’d say snow sucks worse than a breakup. And here’s why.
1. It takes you double the time to get ready in the morning than usual. After you breakup with someone, who cares how much effort you’re putting into getting ready? But with snow, there are many things to take into consideration. You can’t go outside with wet hair because it’ll probably freeze and give you hypothermia (okay maybe not but it isn’t worth taking the chance). You need two pairs of socks, boots, leggings under your pants and at least three layers on top including a huge, puffy jacket. And this is just strictly for actual warmth and surivival, not making you look hot.
2. You have to wake up earlier. Winter is a time where you want to just stay in bed curled up all day long. But no, actually it ends up being quite the opposite. If it snowed overnight and you still have work in the morning, be prepared to give yourself extra time to go outside, start your car early, clean off the snow and all that jazz. At least after a breakup you have an excuse to stay in your jammies all day long and watch a romantic comedy movie marathon.
3. You have to shovel the driveway. Ok, maybe this goes hand in hand with a breakup, since you don’t have the excuse of having your man do it for you. But you are a strong, independent woman, hear you roar! Still, if the damn snow never came, this driveway wouldn’t have to get shoveled. Just sayin.
4. Unlike during a breakup where you may choose to hibernate from the world, you don’t always have a choice with snow. Weekend plans? Cancelled. Happy hour with the girls after work? Cancelled. People don’t do too much during snowstorms, and if you live alone, look forward to a whole lot of unplanned alone time.
Basically, snow is the worst. Save your breakups for summer.
