6 Must Have Clothing Items To Survive The East Coast Cold

It's finally March! With only a few weeks left of cold weather, we have to try our best to stay as warm as we can during this time! For me, I am always cold, and this time of year can be seriously brutal, especially now that I have to walk to class. I have made a small list of just a few things I personally consider vital to staying warm and comfortable while facing these last few cold weeks:

1. Hats

Some people feel hats are pointless, while others consider them a given! Whatever you chose, just know that wearing a hat is the first step to staying warm! My dad always says, "heat escapes from your head!

2. Scarves

Whether you decide to wear a scarf or a turtleneck, something covering your neck helps keep you warm when facing the cold. For me, my nose is always FREEZING, so I like to cover my nose and mouth with my scarf or turtle neck while walking outside.

3. Layers

During super cold days, try wearing multiple undershirts, sweater, sweatshirts, etc., all under a nice warm winter jacket! It may look a little odd, but it makes such a difference! In addition, tuck your undershirt(s) into your pants to keep the layers tight to your skin and keep you warmer. I also love to layer my pants! This one definitely sounds odd but is barely noticeable and makes a HUGE difference. My favorite is to wear a nice warm and tight pair of leggings under thick jeans.

4. Hand Warmers

I know these are easy to forget, but keeping hand warmers in your pockets keep your hands and sides so nice and toasty, which warms up your whole body!

5. Mittens

Gloves are great, but mittens are incredible. They let your fingers warm up each other! It's like your hands get to be indoors while your outside! And the best is putting your hand warmers inside your mittens!

6. Fuzzy Socks

Wearing fuzzy socks on top of regular socks and then inside a pair of boots, keeps your feet and toes so so warm! When your toes are warm, your whole body is warm!

Good luck facing the cold! It will be warm soon enough!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
