17 Things You Know If You Are Always Cold

Yes, I really do need all these blankets.

If you are anything like me, you understand what it is like to be constantly cold. No amount of blankets can warm your body, and no amount of hot beverages can warm your soul. You will never understand people who love winter, and you secretly loathe the people who do not need to wear a sweatshirt on summer evenings to stay warm.

1. You sleep with about 500 blankets

The only acceptable way to sleep is in blanket burrito position, which ensures optimal warmth and comfort.

2. Getting out of bed when it's cold out is nearly impossible

Getting out of your blanket burrito is a highly unpleasant experience, because as soon as the air hits you, you are sure to start shivering uncontrollably.

3. Your hands are always cold

To anyone who has to shake or hold my hands: I am sorry. The temperature of my hands is approximately -50 degrees, and I'm fairly certain that coming in contact with my hands is a form of cruel and unusual punishment.

4. The same thing applies to your feet

Warm socks and Ugg boots all day every day.

5. Fuzzy socks are your number one accessory

You probably have a whole drawer full of these. They're comfy, colorful, and keep your feet warm. What more could you possibly ask for?

6. Layers are very important

Every time you go out, you wear two shirts, a sweater, a jacket, and bring another sweatshirt (just in case). You can never have too many layers, because you never know when they'll come in handy.

7. You are used to looking like a human marshmallow

Wearing huge winter coats is your style, and you rock it.

8. When the AC is on, you freeze

Air conditioning: A life saver to many; but a horror to you. There is no reason for the temperature inside to ever be below 75, because who wants to wear seven layers of clothing indoors?

9. Forget about going outside in the snow

Snow is your mortal enemy. As if you weren't cold enough, the universe performs some cruel joke by sending tiny ice pellets flying at your face.

10. Or winter in general

Seasons are cool and all, but I'll just stay inside with my 500 blankets until spring.

11. It's normal for your fingertips to be slightly blue

Blue tint nail polish? No, just my abnormally cold fingertips doing their thing.

12. And your lips

At this point, it's pretty much a fashion statement. Maybe all us cold folks will start a new trend.

13. And every time you go outside, your cheeks turn bright red

No, I am not blushing. My face just does not like cold air, and the cold air does not like my face.

14. It's sweater weather until it's 60 degrees

You will never understand how people wear shorts at the first sign of spring, because you're still bundled up until mid-April.

15. Hot showers are life savers

The only struggle is deciding whether or not it's worth it to get out of your warm bed to go take one.

16. So are hot beverages

Hot beverages are not just for drinking. Sometimes it's nice to just hold something warm so for a brief instant your hands don't feel like the ice caps of Antartica.

17. And you know no matter what, you will never be warm

Just embrace it. It's who you are, and that will never change.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
