Even though it’s March, we live in Iowa and the weather is unpredictable. Here are some tips to help get you through these last couple of weeks of winter.

1. Think warm thoughts. Upload a beach background or stream a roaring fire to bring some warmth to your room. If that’s not good enough, spring break is only two and a half weeks away.

2. No unnecessary shaving! Ladies, for the winter months it’s totally understandable to leave the leg hair and guys, feel free to leave your beards.

3. Dress warm! Throw on an extra sweatshirt underneath your coat and grab your hats and gloves. If that doesn’t keep you warm enough, throw some hand warmers in your pockets and boots.

4. Stop at the campus cafes for coffee or hot cholate. As if you need another reason to stop.

5. Stay home. It’s never too late to start hibernating.
