Five Things You Can Do To Stay Warm This Winter
Mizzou News

Winter is finally here, and it’s terrible.

If you’re like me you may have found yourself seriously wondering if there’s a tauntaun wandering around that you could use to warm up, Skywalker-style.

Fortunately for me, I do not live on the ice-planet Hoth, as much as it sometimes feels like it. But unfortunately for me, it’s still really, REALLY cold.

So, here are five ways I’ve been coping with the cold, hopefully they’ll help you too.

1. Light all your finals study guides, assignments and papers on fire and huddle near it for warmth.

You don’t need them anymore anyway and haven’t they caused you enough pain?

2. Do lunges instead of walking.

The increased energy expense will heat your body up and your quads will look fantastic.

3. Imagine you are wearing Lenny Kravitz’s infamous giant scarf.

You will feel fabulous and warm.

4. Speaking of scarves, Instead of the blanket-scarf trend, try using a literal blanket as a scarf.

If anyone asks you about it, just say “thanks, I got it at Zara”. You will look and sound so hip.

And finally,

5. Think about how this year, in 2016, we had a record number of women elected to the US Senate, more dialogue than ever about climate change, racial and gender equality, AND thanks to this year, Giant Pandas are no longer considered extinct and the world has been graced with new musical stylings by Lin Manuel-Miranda.

it probably won’t help you with your physical warmth, but it will warm your heart.


Stay toasty, my friends.

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.
