Spring semester is about to start and winter is also in full swing. That means we can expect some very cold starts in the morning this semester. To make sure the cold doesn’t stop you this semester here is a list of winter essentials that you’ll need for this winter.

Hats/Gloves – Having a pair of these is almost a no brainer. Now, finding what you need is another story. If you like to be able to be on your phone while out in the cold, or just need something to keep your hands warm, any place will usually have an array of gloves and hats.

Hand Warmers – Hand Warmers can be found at just about any gas station/convienent store. They are extremely useful when you are outside for long periods of time and you need to readily be able to use your hands.

Winter Jacket – Finding a winter jacket can be a hassle and very costly but it’s one of the most essential parts of keeping you warm all winter. Around the winter time, clothing stores have a wide variety of coats to look buy and have good deals on them as well.

Hot Chocolate – Hot Cocoa is another must have during winter time. It’s delicious, fairly inexpensive, and you can make it really fast on a busy morning when you’re running on a tight schedule.

Winter Boots/Shoes – Finding a pair of winter boots are another essential for winter time. Just like a winter jacket, it can get kind of expensive but shoe/clothing stores offer a wide variety of shoes and usually have pretty good deals on them.
