Rain equals sadness, sun equals happiness?!

Why is it that people feel better on sunny days? I think that is somewhat of a general fact. Could be just me though… Let's say it's just me because I currently have no one by my side to compare thoughts with. Right now it's raining and it's strange how it made me really glum and put me in a bad mood, yet prompted me to write this post.
When I wake up to a sunny day I feel full of energy, happy, nothing looks like a bad idea to me, every problem seem solvable and positivity just takes over. A grey, rainy day is the complete opposite. I feel uninspired to do just about anything. I struggle with a lack of motivation (which is a common thing for me), lack of energy, lack of reasons to do something I could postpone for tomorrow. And tomorrow might be sunny. Sometimes people tell me I am weird because the sun makes them want to stop working and just go out and enjoy it. Yes, I understand and agree to a certain extent. But the temperatures also have an impact. A cold, sunny day in the winter is always nice and welcome, but it does not make me want to enjoy it outside. I just appreciate the fact that I feel better and have more energy and motivation. Of course life is not all about choosing wether you feel like doing something or not, but rather if you have to regardless of the day. However, I think sun and warmth give me energy and will, whereas sad, rainy days depress me and put me in a bad mood. At least on those days I can tell myself 'do your homework and then you can enjoy the sun' and give myself somewhat of a motivational line. Good thing these exams coming up are in the warmer weather so I will reward myself with laying in the park once they finish :)
