8 Must-haves to keep you warm this winter

Even though I was constantly told to pack warm clothes whenever I mentioned where I would be going college in the fall, I had no idea what winter would bring when I started at Syracuse. Here are 8 items that I have grown attached to throughout the year that will hopefully help keep you warm this winter:

1. Duck boots

In the rain or snow, these are my favorite type of winter boot. They are comfortable, easy to slide on, and have enough room to wear cozy socks.


2. Long puffy down coat

I'm so glad I bought one of these for school. I don't need to layer jackets at all to keep warm walking to class, I just need my down coat!


3. Big knit scarf

Whether it is hand-made or store-bought, knit scarves will keep your neck and face warm on the chilliest of winter days.


4. Cozy socks

[Pictured: Cabin Socks]

I was recently given Cabin Socks for Christmas, and they are the comfiest socks I've ever worn. They aren't bulky and can fit easily under boots. They're even aloe infused!


5. Moccasins

What isn't great about moccasins? You can wear them as slippers inside or with jeans as a casual look to class.


6. Quarter-zip sweater

[Pictured: Patagonia]

Another gift I received this Christmas was a quarter-zip sweater from Patagonia. I love this sweater because it is perfect for layering and super-warm. Its not bulky, but there is still enough room to wear another shirt underneath without feeling too tight.

7. Cozy flannel

Flannels are my favorite shirt to wear when I want to look casual and stay warm. I love the new one from American Eagle called "Ahh-mazingly soft."


8. Leggings

You can never seem to go wrong with a pair of black leggings. Not only are they comfortable enough to wear all day, but they match everything so you can dress them up or down for class.


If you've recently moved to a snowy state for school, you can't go wrong with any these items!

Stay warm!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
