Lets Consider Snow.

So many thoughts. 

Let's go with the snow:

It finally snowed in Provo! :) It is beautiful, festive, and freezing. I. Love. It. 

I see untouched snow on campus and have this urge to make endless snow angels, apparently other people don't share my enthusiasm.

There are two types of snow people. Those who love snow, and those who do not. 
When the first snow hits, common conversation starters sound like this:

"Do you like snow?"

                   Answer #1: "Yes! It's so fun!"

                                     Or
                  Answer #2: "No! It's so awful!" 

It is the hot (cold) topic for a week.

Changing ones thought process to snow= fun, rather than snow= awful, makes life in Provo, Utah 10X more entertaining.  

Listening to people complain about snow is hilarious, especially girls- "How do you even dress for this weather? This snow wrecks my hair. Yesterday I slipped and it hurt really bad. (whiny face)

Lets face it, I have felt these things before, but really I think we take ourselves too seriously. Pioneers trekked through feet of snow, in less than appealing conditions and literally settled the very campus we walk on. All we do is walk a few blocks to campus on salted and snow plowed sidewalks.  

My favorite thought on snow thus far is this (it is just a thought, I haven't really applied it, but it is something to think about.)

When involved in a snowball fight, you have the wonderful opportunity to throw snow at whomever you please. Let this sink in for a moment... Okay. Read on. :) 

This means if you like someone, you can flirt by throwing snow at them. This also means if you don't like someone you can peg them with a snowball and get away with it. 

Isn't that great?? I've been contemplating this ever since the big snowball fight that occurred in the court yard of my apartment complex. It was the most brutal snowball fight I have ever participated in, and yet it was epic. 

Well, there are my thoughts on snow. Incidentally, everyone I have talked to has told me I will become tired of the snow by April. I don't think I will. We shall see. :)

Enjoy your week, stay warm, drive safe, throw snow at people... :)
