With the warm weather leaving and cold weather coming, we decided on our Monthly Debate topic of November: would you rather be very hot or very cold at any given time?
Ella Slupik: Cold-
I believe that being cold is better for a number of reasons. First of all, being cold can actually be quite cozy! Wrapping up in blankets and hoodies during cold weather is one of my favorite things (bonus points if you add a warm drink). When there’s snow outside, I love bundling up and tromping around, sledding, eating icicles, engaging in snowball fights, and playing with my dog. Another reason that being cold is the best is when it comes to sleeping. Who likes sleeping when they’re warm? Certainly not me! On the other hand, sleeping while being cold is absolutely amazing because I can snuggle up under the covers and warm myself up without overheating. Overall, there are millions of reasons why being cold is amazing, and I would take it over being hot any day.
Nhi Vuong: Hot-
Personally, I believe that being hot is so much better, because it actually allows you to do things. It lets you have a relaxing and refreshing day at the pool, walk around freely without completely freezing, and wear cute shorts and skirts without turning into an icicle! I mean, come on, absolutely no one likes dragging around ten layers just to go outside. Also, no one likes hanging out in freezing cold weathers. Warmth just means more freedom, fun, and hanging out without suffering. I mean, come on, there is a very obvious correct answer here.

This is why the temperature changes, so that we don’t have to choose.
