We all know at college, each classroom can be like walking into a totally different climate every time-- sometimes it can even vary day to day. In your more Southern states, we also have this thing called RIDICULOUS WEATHER, where you can wake up and it literally is freezing and by noon you have to strip because it's so hot. I am a firm believer that this is where the shorts and sweaters combo came from, don't @ me. But what kind of classrooms are you walking into every day? My classrooms, literally all of them, feel like my college can't afford air conditioning. Please tell me what my campus fees are paying for. But let's be real, in general, there are about 5 different kinds of classrooms you may face throughout your college career at some point or another.
1. The Tundra
This is the class that needs to include hand warmers, fuzzy socks, heavy coats, gloves, ski masks, and maybe even a personal space heater in the required materials section on syllabus day. It's the kind of cold you can feel before you even walk in. I highly recommend coffee or hot chocolate before class to keep you cozy.
2. The Den of Satan
Holy guacamole! There should be a sign on the door saying,"AVOID WEARING FLAMMABLE SPRAYS AND CLOTHING", because it feels like you could spontaneously combust at any minute. These are the classes where if you're not sweating, you're probably a witch, or have some sort of sorcery, just saying. More often than not, these classes are taught by little ladies that come to class drinking coffee and wearing sweaters and are completely unbothered.
3. The Tropical Rainforest
Nobody knows why or how, but this classroom always has that awkward wet, humid feeling. It smells like it too. These classrooms are the ones that call for the cringe-worthy word "moist" because there really isn't many other ways to describe it. Sometimes the desks even feel wet, why is there condensation everywhere? The world may never know.
4. The One That Feels "Just Right"
These classrooms are nearly unheard of. Are they even a real thing? If you magically find yourself in this classroom, you are special. And you should probably try to enroll in classes located in that room every chance you get. Not your major? Who cares! At least you can learn and feel great at the same time!
5. Grandma's House
Not everyone's grandma can be as cool as Baddie Winkle, but everyone's grandma's house has a certain smell to it that we just know. Baddie Winkle's house might smell like she just rolled one, but my grandma's house smells like old books, tomatoes and stale air. This kind of classroom smells like it hasn't been opened since the building was built in 1945. Musty.
No matter what classroom you find yourself in this year, make the most of it! Dress for whatever season your class has to offer, maybe you will survive. If it is too bad, you can always talk to your instructor and I am sure they will listen to what you have to say. They may not act on it, but they will at least hear you. :)
