Winter is the time of frozen tears, gorging on popcorn with extra butter and trampling on brown snow piling up by the sidewalk.
It's not always a frozen, desolate tundra though. There are winter landscapes to boast about on Instagram, friends with whom to huddle up and commiserate and of course, spring break to dream of. As we launch ourselves into classes after two snow days, our writers reflect on why Winter Quarter could be the most wonderful time of the year.
