Haven't seen a day above freezing in three weeks? Don't worry, I haven't either which is why I feel that I am not equipped to share with you the secrets of surviving the coldest days. Walking anywhere, let alone class, is rough in this weather, but if you bundle up enough you might make it through the day without your tears turning to ice while thinking about all the work you have.

1. As soon as you wake up, change into two pairs of leggings and a pair of sweatpants.

Maybe even add a layer of super comfy pajama pants.

2. Then put on a tank top, two shirts, and a sweatshirt.

There is no such thing as too many layers.

3. Make sure you have a huge blanket scarf to put on next.

If you don't have a wearable blanket, any scarf will do.

4. Don't forget to start boiling water for hot chocolate now.

A cup of hot chocolate a day keeps the cold away.

5. After you pour yourself a cup, get on those gloves.

10/10 would recommend the furry Urban Outfitter gloves.

6. Put on your puffy winter jacket.


You probably feel like a marshmallow, but a warm marshmallow.

7. Crank the heat as high as it goes.

Even if your heater makes a noise that makes you think it might catch on fire any second crank it all the way up.

8. Get back in bed.

Did you actually think you were leaving?

9. Pull the covers all the way up.

Form the perfect Netflix and nap cocoon.

10. Wrap yourself in another blanket.

Bonus warmth if you have a heated blanket.

11. Do not leave unless your GrubHub order arrives.

I mean, I wish I was kidding but really, there is no need to move when it is this cold outside.

12. Come up for air or for another cup of hot cocoa or for your second GrubHub order to come.

Again, it is too cold to actually do anything so might as well just embrace.

13. Think about how close summer is.

The beach. Music festivals. Driving with the windows down. Yes, summer is soon.

14. Remember that tomorrow is supposed to have a feel of -6 degrees, but also remember that tomorrow is no longer the weekend and you have class.

Repeat steps 1-6, but this time find the door and not your bed. Good luck in the cold - you got this!

Turns out, the best way to avoid the cold is really just to hibernate. Next time you think you want to leave rethink and head back to bed. If you have to actually go outside make sure that you bundle up with about a million layers!

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.
