It is getting colder and colder each day. Soon there will be snow everywhere and the temperatures will drop below freezing. If you are like me, you are already complaining about the cold fall is bringing. Here are some ways I survive the cold weather Ohio brings every year.

1. Listen to country music.

Country music is basically all about summer and the beach. It will definitely take your mind off the cold weather.

2. Drink hot chocolate.

Hot chocolate will instantly warm you up and possibly burn your tongue. It will feel better than frostbite though.

3. Wrap yourself in at least two blankets.

Blankets are a lifesaver when you are sitting in your cold bedroom at night.

4. Look at pictures from vacations.

It is the perfect time to reminisce about your summer vacation. This is not always recommended because you might just end up sad, but at least it will take your mind off the cold.

5. Stay inside.

The best and the most effective way to avoid the cold is to just stay inside.

6. Have a fire.

Consider yourself lucky if you have a wood burning or gas fireplace in your house. There is nothing like smelling the campfire smoke and hearing the fire crackle while wrapped in a blanket.

7. Use hand warmers and feet warmers.

Wearing multiple shirts and pants is completely normal when going out in the cold. Who cares if you look like a marshmallow? At least you're warm.

9. Fuzzy socks.

You can buy fun fuzzy socks at basically any store. They are cute and keep your feet warm.

10. Start celebrating Christmas.

Embrace this cold and blare the Christmas music. It will make you feel a whole lot better.

11. Hats.

If you love wearing hats, time to break out the cute winter hats and beanies. You will never have to spend time on your hair the entire winter season.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
