five days

Five days into winter break, and I already miss Santa Clara. I'm falling back into routines though, of dragging wet jeans through puddles and chasing warmth. I love that rosy, sweaty feeling of stepping into warm homes. I love being greeted by twinkling lights and hot cocoa. Winter is my favorite season.

I am always craving cold weather—hmm, not sure why I chose to go to school in California—because everything feels better when it's cold outside; like movies and coffee and music. I think teeth chattering is adorable, and that snow angels are overrated, and that I will find my way away from you sooner than I think.

I'm drinking more water, trying to be healthier, trying to run more — maybe it's all a lame attempt at forgetting things — but better than last winter, right?
