Top 5 things I like about lists

So this week in my Decision Analysis class, the topic of how to make a decision based on several factors was brought up as an example for some theory/equation. This got me thinking on what I really want in a house, so I asked my classmate Kate Servais what her top five things she would rate a house on, (if she were to buy one). This sparked a series of lists rating our top 5 of everything from people to Thanksgiving activities. The lists were in no particular order except for the order they were thought in.

My Top 5 favorite things about Winter:
1. The quiet peacefulness-there is less people out, less wildlife, even the wind sounds bare
2. Winter Sports-A little broad, but if I could pic one, it would be broomball.
3. The Holiday Season-I love the holidays, a lot. A full month of being joyous for no reason, hell yes, sign me up.
4. Hoar Frosts-Where I live, a good frost comes along and it's more magical than Narnia.
5. The appreciation of Spring- Without a good winter, Spring would never seem so amazing. Especially in Madison where people get soo cramped up in their places and then burst out on the first warm day above 40.

In doing so, I have found that list are a great way for us to think about how we truly feel about something, or maybe more importantly, how we want to feel about something. Theses lists were made as a declaration of my views, beliefs, morals, and goals. Such high important things in life, one could only hope, are filled with the right stuff.
