6 Must Have Clothing Items To Survive The East Coast Cold

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!!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
