Winter vs Summer

Heyy <3
Yep, it’s still winter, and it’s gonna be winter for another month. Winter isn’t too bad, is it? But what about summer?

I mean, in the summer time, you can sleep in ’till 2 because there’s no school, you can wear that tank and those shorts you’ve been dying to wear all winter, and you can actually do SPORTS that don’t involve 1) Sliding around on a frozen pond chasing a plastic puck with a wooden stick and 2) Strapping narrow peices of plastic to your feet to slide down a mountain or go for a very akward walk in the woods.

I’m not saying anything against those things. They’re pretty darn sweet. I mean, what with hockey season. Hockey and beer is the only thing you need to keep us Canadians happy =P And alpine skiing and snowboarding’s one of my favourite sports!
So, apparently both summer and winter are pretty damn awesome, but which one is better?

Yes, this is a very devastating question. The answer will change LIVES. I mean, because everyone certainly cares about whether summer is better than winter or not.

Right, not so much. But still! Don’t you want to know? Well, since you’re reading this and since I want to know, you’re gonna find out!
But if you really don’t want to know, just stop reading. –Wait! I didn’t mean that! DON’T YOU NAVIGATE AWAY FROM ME, PERSON!

ANYWAYS… To find out, I’m doing a pro and con survey for myself for both seasons, starting with winter.

All those pros and cons are pretty conving, eh? So, what do you think? It’s pretty much all a matter of opinion. But I’ve reached a conclusion…
They’re both the same.

So, yeah, this posts has been pretty much entirely pointless. Hope y’all enjoyed it!
