Below Zero Weather

I hate being cold. I am probably one of the biggest freeze-babies ever. So, on really cold days it is an accomplishment for me to get outside at all. All I want to do on these days is sit inside wrapped up in a blanket and watch a movie. I also want to do this on rainy days.
When it is below zero, I wear my warm boots, big sweatshirt, sweatpants, a big coat, and mittens. Sometimes I will even wear leggings under my sweatpants. Even with all these clothes on, the cold still manages to get to me. I almost always crave a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
On those really cold days, my friends and I usually spend all our time inside the dorm. It is nice because my boyfriend lives in the McElroy dorm and I live in Crawford. So, I do not have to go outside to see him or to go to dinner. My friend Ryan is the only one of us that has a car, and we never use it when it is really cold. It is not worth it since it will not be warm until we get to wherever we are going. So, we usually just hang out in one of our rooms, watch t.v. or a movie, and avoid going outside as much as possible.
As big of a freeze-baby as I am, it is way too hot in my dorm room at night. My roommate and I always sleep with the window open, even when it is below zero. This causes my throat to get very dry and sore, but I cannot stand to be hot at night. I like to snuggle up in my blankets comfortably. I am glad that it has gotten a bit warmer so that I can sleep comfortably and not have to worry about getting sick.
I wish the winters here were more mild so that I would not have to deal with the below zero days. However, I will not be moving out of Minnesota any time soon. So, I better learn to stick it out.

My Favorite Place

I have traveled quite a bit. Most of my travels however, have been within the United States. My favorite place I've ever been is San Diego, California. My mom, aunt, cousin, and I went on a cruise my junior year of high school. We flew out to Los Angeles to get on the ship. From there we went to San Diego, Catalina Island, and Ensanada, Mexico. I really enjoyed Los Angeles as well, but there was something about San Diego that immediately made me love it.
San Diego has got to be one of the cleanest cities I have been to. Walking around downtown there was not a lot of trash on the ground, and it was just an all around inviting place. My favorite part of San Diego is Old Town. I absolutely love Mexican food, and there is a restaurant in Old Town that has the best.
I wished I could have stayed in San Diego longer, but unfortunately with the cruise I was on we only got to spend a few hours there. I hope that one day I can return to that beautiful city.
