Lamentably so, human beings are not impervious to the cold, but it does affect some more than others.

If you are one of the unlucky people to be chronically cold, you will even be reaching for that sweater and hot coffee in the summertime. You have moments in which you swear you are a human iceberg and wish you took more after Elsa and not her lovely, but less cold-resistant sister. The cold does bother you, anyway, it always has, and here are 15 things you do when the cold comes a creepin':

1. Complain about being cold

Of course the first thing you do is complain because everyone needs to be sympathetic to your plight. Don't all good friends wish to hear you say, "I'm freezing" or "it's so cold!" twenty times a minute?

2. Spend an extra couple of minutes washing your hands with hot water

You're sorry to waste the water, but darn, it is worth it.

3. Show people your impressively prominent goosebumps

It's not like they've seen goosebumps before, right?

4. Touch people to prove how cold you are

Because who doesn't love being prodded with icicle-fingers?

5. Wear socks, slippers, and a robe inside

The more layers, the better.

6. Cling to warm people

Channel your inner koala and latch onto the closest human. Someone you know of course.

7. Sit on your hands or rub them together, though you know you're fighting a losing battle

Will you ever be relieved of the ice in your blood? Will the sun ever truly rise for you again?

8. Try to get warmth from your phone

Though it be but little, its warmth is fierce. Your cellphone may not hold a candle to a toasty fire, but it can still provide you with some heat.

9. Do jumping jacks or any random jig that makes it look like you really need to go to the bathroom

Your feet are exceptionally happy when you're cold, dancing all over the place.

10. Decide any time is a good time to get bundled up in bed

...even if it's the middle of the day.

11. Worry that your hands and feet will forever be blocks of ice

It's like getting zapped with an freeze-ray every time you accidentally touch your leg with your own foot in bed at night. And for the ladies, putting on a bra with cold hands is not fun.

12. Take a steaming hot shower or bath

The relief is unparalleled.

13. Use a blanket as a shawl

If you can make it look as elegant and chic as Audrey, you're golden.

14. Hug a mug of hot tea or coffee as if it is your life source

Lorelai has the right idea.

15. And of course, when you finish one mug, violently throw it on the ground and insist upon being brought another ;)

Power on, my fellow cold people!

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!

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.
