Rosynek Week 6 - Better Weather

    Although we recently had snow earlier this week, the weather has been increasingly pleasant and shows that Spring is indeed coming. It has also been appealing that it stays light out past 4:30 PM and the sun does not start going down until later now. 

    It has been proven that winter weather affects moods of humans. Most people experience decline in energy and motivation, as well as changes in sleeping patterns and moods. It is more apparent in the Northern Hemisphere where seasonal changes are obvious. It's important in the winter for people to get outside and spend time in the sunlight rather than under artificial lights inside. 

    I know, from my personal experience, that I get more irritated, fatigued and less motivated in the winter. It's cold, it's always windy, it's always cloudy. I prefer warm weather and being able to wear shorts and soak up the sun. Having more vitamin D has been scientifically proven to ward off depression and make us happier.

    I'm hoping that this warmer weather stays consistent and that we continue to have less rainy and snowy days. Not only does it make me want to spend more time outside, work productively for my two jobs, but it also creates a better mindset towards school. 

    As much as I don't enjoy winter, I have to admit that the snow is really pretty when it first is falling and right afterwards. Even if I like the snow, I can't wait for Spring and Summer. I'm eagerly waiting for shorts and t-shirt weather and being able to be outside and get tan.
