First year student Jane Waters was so excited to move to California and enjoy year round warm weather after growing up in the Northeast. However, as Waters enters her second month living in Orange, she is still feeling dead inside all the time. Jane thought she would be trading antidepressants for spray sunscreen, but instead she pretty much stays in bed wrapped in blankets listening to Frank Ocean.

“I thought it was just a seasonal thing,” Waters said. “Summer in Vermont is usually pretty nice so I figured my problems had to do with the weather, but after living in Southern California for a little while I’m beginning to wonder if this crushing hopelessness thing isn’t a cold climate exclusive.”
