Students can be affected by numerous things that allows them to feel happy, sad, angry, or even a mix of all emotions. Over time, students know what causes those emotions. Could it be weather changing students’ moods throughout the year, or it could just be a theory that is taken lightly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Students might not know where the idea of weather affecting moods came from, but it is the problem of believing it or not. Junior Victoria Shortt said, \u201c….if it is nice and sunny outside more people are going to be happy, but if it [is] dark and gloomy outside, then people tend to be in worse moods.\u201d Shortt believes that mood is changed by the way it looks outside. Most people have a favorite season each year, and that season may give them a more positive outlook. Shortt said, \u201cMy favorite season would have to be spring because, the flowers are starting to bloom, and it is getting nicer outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore Jessica Celmer said, \u201c….if it is bright and sunny then most people will be happy but if it is dark and gloomy then people might be kind of depressed. But that’s not always true.\u201d There are students that believe otherwise but everyone has his\/her own opinions. \u00a0Celmer said that,\u201cYour perspective on how the day will be, compared to the weather outside.\u201d Not only concerned with weather affecting her mood Celmer said, \u201cIf it’s raining I don’t bother with my hair because it will just get wet and icky.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore Haley Balkema strongly believed that weather affects her moods. It takes a little more than some bad day to bring her mood down, Balkema said, \u201cWhen, it’s rainy and gray outside that’s when I get really tired.\u201d When the rainy season goes and comes fall time, Balkema said she likes the change in colors. Balkema said, \u201cI like to walk around and just stare at the leaves.\u201d Even though Balkema said her favorite season is fall, Balkema also said that, \u201cwindy, warmish, and slightly cloudy weather is nice too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agreeing with Balkema, Junior Jessica Beagle said that temperature, and how bright it is outside changes her moods. Weather that changes the students’ mood might not be the same as their favorite season of the year. Beagle said her favorite season is, \u201cSummer, because I like how warm it is and what activities you can do.\u201d Beagle said that she likes to go \u201cswimming and [do] marching band.” Beagles said she enjoys 80 degree weather and with no humidity.<\/p>\n

Just looking at what some of the students think, there are several thoughts on believing about weather changing moods. Students all have different options and this is just one of them. Whether they believe that moods can be changed by weather is up to them and there really is no true answer to the question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
