Why Is It Important To Have A Social Life In College

By Jason Larrsohn


If you are a freezing college student, you might need some tips on how to keep warm as you trek back and forth to and from campus as well as heat up your shabby little apartment. Especially if you are a freshman, out of your parents big and warm house for the first time, you might need some extra tips on keeping the cold out.

Outdoors

Finding the Right Pieces

Dressing for the Day

Make sure to wear several thinner layers. College classrooms tend to vary in temperature from room to room and building to building and you will be constantly taking on and off layers to accommodate each place. So avoid wearing a t-shirt and a huge coat, because you will probably need something in-between at some point in the day. So layer up on your University of Miami apparel including t-shirt, sweatshirt, and sweatpants to keep warm all day long!

Lifelong Friends

You may live in a small, drafty apartment that lets in lots of frigid winter air. Some cheap apartments don't come with heating or have broken down ancient heating systems that don't fulfill their duty. It helps to keep doors shut (even bedroom and bathroom doors) and cover windows with curtains or other forms of insulation. If worse comes to worse, you may even need to roll up towels or other pieces of cloth and line the bottoms of any doors or windows that let in drafts.

Success

There are also situations when your roommates create the problem. Some students find themselves with roommates from cold climates that get hot too easily and don't like the heat on. Others end up with stingy roommates who don't want to pay for gas. If you don't get to heat up your apartment the traditional way, keep yourself warm by doing the following: wear sweaters, socks, hats and scarves around the house. Heat up hot water bottles or fill socks with rice, tie/sew the end and throw it in the microwave for two or three minutes. These become personal space heaters. Eat warm foods like soup and drink hot beverages to warm yourself from the inside out. Make sure you keep yourself fed, as your body will need the energy to fight off the cold.

Remember, that there are plenty of ways to keep warm during the winter! Stay warm and stay stylish too by sporting your custom University of Miami apparel!
