17 Things You Know If You Are Always Cold

Yes, I really do need all these blankets.

If you are anything like me, you understand what it is like to be constantly cold. No amount of blankets can warm your body, and no amount of hot beverages can warm your soul. You will never understand people who love winter, and you secretly loathe the people who do not need to wear a sweatshirt on summer evenings to stay warm.

1. You sleep with about 500 blankets

The only acceptable way to sleep is in blanket burrito position, which ensures optimal warmth and comfort.

2. Getting out of bed when it's cold out is nearly impossible

Getting out of your blanket burrito is a highly unpleasant experience, because as soon as the air hits you, you are sure to start shivering uncontrollably.

3. Your hands are always cold

To anyone who has to shake or hold my hands: I am sorry. The temperature of my hands is approximately -50 degrees, and I'm fairly certain that coming in contact with my hands is a form of cruel and unusual punishment.

4. The same thing applies to your feet

Warm socks and Ugg boots all day every day.

5. Fuzzy socks are your number one accessory

You probably have a whole drawer full of these. They're comfy, colorful, and keep your feet warm. What more could you possibly ask for?

6. Layers are very important

Every time you go out, you wear two shirts, a sweater, a jacket, and bring another sweatshirt (just in case). You can never have too many layers, because you never know when they'll come in handy.

7. You are used to looking like a human marshmallow

Wearing huge winter coats is your style, and you rock it.

8. When the AC is on, you freeze

Air conditioning: A life saver to many; but a horror to you. There is no reason for the temperature inside to ever be below 75, because who wants to wear seven layers of clothing indoors?

9. Forget about going outside in the snow

Snow is your mortal enemy. As if you weren't cold enough, the universe performs some cruel joke by sending tiny ice pellets flying at your face.

10. Or winter in general

Seasons are cool and all, but I'll just stay inside with my 500 blankets until spring.

11. It's normal for your fingertips to be slightly blue

Blue tint nail polish? No, just my abnormally cold fingertips doing their thing.

12. And your lips

At this point, it's pretty much a fashion statement. Maybe all us cold folks will start a new trend.

13. And every time you go outside, your cheeks turn bright red

No, I am not blushing. My face just does not like cold air, and the cold air does not like my face.

14. It's sweater weather until it's 60 degrees

You will never understand how people wear shorts at the first sign of spring, because you're still bundled up until mid-April.

15. Hot showers are life savers

The only struggle is deciding whether or not it's worth it to get out of your warm bed to go take one.

16. So are hot beverages

Hot beverages are not just for drinking. Sometimes it's nice to just hold something warm so for a brief instant your hands don't feel like the ice caps of Antartica.

17. And you know no matter what, you will never be warm

Just embrace it. It's who you are, and that will never change.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

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. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
