As someone who isn’t a huge winter person, but makes use of her time, here are some tips to survive the cold weather.

Layer Clothing

Always always always bundle up! For instance, wear a t-shirt and then a sweatshirt over it and then a puffed jacket over that along with leggings and boots so you will feel less cold and more comfortable whenever you walk to class or go out in general. Make sure to also wear gloves, a hat, or even a scarf to get the warmth.

Hydrate

Likewise, don’t forget to take care of your body and skin. It’s important to moisturize your face and apply lip balm because your skin and lips can easily get dry and chapped. Also, drink sufficient amounts of water and Vitamin D because it’s important to take care of your health during such cold weather.

Be Productive

This is the main one, but make sure to be productive!! You do not want to lay on your bed all day! So make sure to do some winter activities whether it’s sledding, skiing, or even ice skating. Even though it is cold, it’s always great to move your body, which will help you feel relieved. Or, you can host movie nights or game nights with your friends to stay connected.

Praapti is a 4th year biology major at Thomas Jefferson University. Ever since elementary school, she always loved writing about any topics and is very grateful to get an opportunity to write using this platform.

About her is that she was raised and born in New Jersey. In her spare time, she loves to dance, play badminton and run, and spend time with family and friends. She like to write as well because with writing, it allows her to express more about myself.

She hope through Her Campus, it gives her the opportunity to improve her writing skills and to inspire women. As well as the audience getting to know about her experiences and opinions through her writing and hearing other women voice out about themselves as well!
