6 Must Have Clothing Items To Survive The East Coast Cold
John Griffin

It's finally March! With only a few weeks left of cold weather, we have to try our best to stay as warm as we can during this time! For me, I am always cold, and this time of year can be seriously brutal, especially now that I have to walk to class. I have made a small list of just a few things I personally consider vital to staying warm and comfortable while facing these last few cold weeks:

1. Hats

Some people feel hats are pointless, while others consider them a given! Whatever you chose, just know that wearing a hat is the first step to staying warm! My dad always says, "heat escapes from your head!

2. Scarves

Whether you decide to wear a scarf or a turtleneck, something covering your neck helps keep you warm when facing the cold. For me, my nose is always FREEZING, so I like to cover my nose and mouth with my scarf or turtle neck while walking outside.

3. Layers

During super cold days, try wearing multiple undershirts, sweater, sweatshirts, etc., all under a nice warm winter jacket! It may look a little odd, but it makes such a difference! In addition, tuck your undershirt(s) into your pants to keep the layers tight to your skin and keep you warmer. I also love to layer my pants! This one definitely sounds odd but is barely noticeable and makes a HUGE difference. My favorite is to wear a nice warm and tight pair of leggings under thick jeans.

4. Hand Warmers

I know these are easy to forget, but keeping hand warmers in your pockets keep your hands and sides so nice and toasty, which warms up your whole body!

5. Mittens

Gloves are great, but mittens are incredible. They let your fingers warm up each other! It's like your hands get to be indoors while your outside! And the best is putting your hand warmers inside your mittens!

6. Fuzzy Socks

Wearing fuzzy socks on top of regular socks and then inside a pair of boots, keeps your feet and toes so so warm! When your toes are warm, your whole body is warm!

Good luck facing the cold! It will be warm soon enough!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
