11 Things Drier Than Your Skin In The Winter, Somehow

Even your best moisturizer can’t fix these things.

Dry skin may be one of the most uncomfortable results of cold winter climates. It can leave you feeling itchy, looking red and sometimes, it downright stings. But, as are many things in life, dryness is relative: as dehydrated as your skin may be, there are plenty of things out there that can give it a run for its money.

1. Your hair (in the winter)

You’re not imagining that change in your hair texture that you feel in the wintertime – the cold air sucks that moisture out, which may help oil-prone hair, but can cause damage and breakage when the dryness goes too far.

2. The air in your bedroom (also in the winter)

With that heat cranked up in the cold winter months, your room is left feeling like a barren land, and you'll probably wake up in dire need of water.

3. A saltine cracker

As an ultra dry, ultra salty snack, it’s no wonder the saltine cracker challenge – eating six saltine crackers in one minute – is such a daunting task.

4. Toby Flenderson from "The Office"

Poor guy, all he wants to do is be happy and keep the peace, but he just is who he is: a dry, monotone, HR rep.

5. Cole Sprouse’s Instagram account, camera_duels

On this account, "Riverdale" actor Cole Sprouse takes on a paparazzo's role and captures photos and videos of people on the street photographing him. Each upload is accompanied by a lengthy, well-written caption that is really a narrative of how the post came to be. The formality of the captions mixed with the humor of the whole premise exemplifies wit and dry humor.

6. Raisins

This is what you get when you dry out grapes, which, ironically, may be one of the juiciest fruits of all.

7. Bill Belichick

To see him bare a smile is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I guess with the Patriots’ track record, who am I to judge.

8. Your last Tinder conversation

Let’s be real – there’s probably little to no substance in the majority of them, anyway.

9. Your Econ textbook

Granted, I am no economics student, but from what I hear, these books can be tough to get through.

10. Roz from "Monsters, Inc."

Her slow, scratchy voice and sluggish movements maker her a dry, crabby character…that is, until she reveals her real identity later on in the film (I won’t give any more spoilers).

11. The Atacama Desert

Your skin cannot even compare to Chile’s Atacama Desert, but to be fair, it’s one of the driest places on Earth, making it steep competition.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
