15 Things You Do Whenever You’re Cold

Yes, even in the summertime.

Lamentably so, human beings are not impervious to the cold, but it does affect some more than others.

If you are one of the unlucky people to be chronically cold, you will even be reaching for that sweater and hot coffee in the summertime. You have moments in which you swear you are a human iceberg and wish you took more after Elsa and not her lovely, but less cold-resistant sister. The cold does bother you, anyway, it always has, and here are 15 things you do when the cold comes a creepin':

1. Complain about being cold

Of course the first thing you do is complain because everyone needs to be sympathetic to your plight. Don't all good friends wish to hear you say, "I'm freezing" or "it's so cold!" twenty times a minute?

2. Spend an extra couple of minutes washing your hands with hot water

You're sorry to waste the water, but darn, it is worth it.

3. Show people your impressively prominent goosebumps

It's not like they've seen goosebumps before, right?

4. Touch people to prove how cold you are

Because who doesn't love being prodded with icicle-fingers?

5. Wear socks, slippers, and a robe inside

The more layers, the better.

6. Cling to warm people

Channel your inner koala and latch onto the closest human. Someone you know of course.

7. Sit on your hands or rub them together, though you know you're fighting a losing battle

Will you ever be relieved of the ice in your blood? Will the sun ever truly rise for you again?

8. Try to get warmth from your phone

Though it be but little, its warmth is fierce. Your cellphone may not hold a candle to a toasty fire, but it can still provide you with some heat.

9. Do jumping jacks or any random jig that makes it look like you really need to go to the bathroom

Your feet are exceptionally happy when you're cold, dancing all over the place.

10. Decide any time is a good time to get bundled up in bed

...even if it's the middle of the day.

11. Worry that your hands and feet will forever be blocks of ice

It's like getting zapped with an freeze-ray every time you accidentally touch your leg with your own foot in bed at night. And for the ladies, putting on a bra with cold hands is not fun.

12. Take a steaming hot shower or bath

The relief is unparalleled.

13. Use a blanket as a shawl

If you can make it look as elegant and chic as Audrey, you're golden.

14. Hug a mug of hot tea or coffee as if it is your life source

Lorelai has the right idea.

15. And of course, when you finish one mug, violently throw it on the ground and insist upon being brought another ;)

Power on, my fellow cold people!

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.
