10 Things That Happen When You Change Climates
Eneko Muino

When you spend your entire life in an extremely warm climate (i. e Hawai’i) and then move to an extremely cold climate (i.e New York), your body reacts way differently to temperature. Everyone you talk to makes fun of your inability to handle the lower temperatures and questions why you ever moved. In the beginning, it seems fine, but as time goes on (and the temperatures get lower) you start to freak out a little bit. Here are ten things that happen when you change climates.


1. People telling you that it gets cold and you make fun of them because you totally think you can handle it:



2. But then it reaches below the 50s and you prepare to go outside like this:



3. Then your friends tell you it’s only going to get colder:



4. So you keep at least five blankets on you at all times:



5. Sometimes you forget that it’s cold outside so you go out in slippers and a tank top:



6. And you shower for an extra 45 minutes because that is the only place where it’s warm:



7. But then it snows and the excitement level is so real and all your friends think you're crazy:



8. Except after being outside for only 20 minutes, you can no longer feel your face so you go running back inside:



9. Sometimes you remember that it’s probably in the 80s where you’re from:

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
