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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
