How It Feels To Be In SoCal When Your High School Friends Are Freezing

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapman chapter.

It’s the middle of winter and there’s a good chance that even if you’re not from a place where below freezing is the norm, you know a friend who’s struggling to survive college in those temperatures. Here’s five things that are just so much sweeter when it’s winter in California.

  1. Opening your weather app first thing in the morning and seeing the high in Orange is 84 degrees and under 30 at home.
  2. Pushing aside the jeans and cardigans in favor of dresses and shorts.
  3. Constantly using the temperature filter on Snapchat just to show off.
  4. Spending weekends at the beach and getting a tan.
  5. Lounging at the pool and having to get in the water to cool off because it’s so hot.
