8 1 8 1 5 7 1 8 O n u The Stentorian I NCSSM Center Spread January 2015 j Surviving the coming winterl rtrt > *i*r By Ashley Thrasher Staff Writer At 1 INC 'SSM,| f t h weatherl seems 1 I to be an| everl fchang i n g I I nightmare.] S o m e W days it isl warm, and somel days it’s so cold and' dark, one is left unsure on whether to even call it a day. To help solve this problem a list has been composed; a list that will help to keep one warm in the cold days ahead. Tip One - Cover Up The great thing about living in a day and age where there are clothing shops everywhere is that one is bound to find some thing they like. Some simple things to look into purchasing would include: a warm coat, gloves, hats, scarves, flannels, underarmor, etc. TipTwo-ProtectyourFeet The feet are the body’s natural heating and cooling system; a way to ensure staying warm is to put on heavy duty wool socks or even just doubling up on the socks you are wearing. Good shoes are a great ’ to make ones also way sure feet stay warm. Good shoes can include fuzzy boots, sneakers, and boots that have leather or wool ma terials. Tip Three - Avoid the outside The great thing about NCSSM is that almost everything is accessi ble by going through a series of networks that connect the buildings e.g. tunnels and breeze- ways. Using the Hill tunnel or cutting through the 2"“* Bryan breezeway to get into the ETC are great ways to keep one self out of the cold. One could also answer the year old question of which way is quicker to get to Bryan Hunt. Try ferent routes] stay out of! cold. ’"Hint* tested it was found that across diago- from Hunt to Lobby was than going the Reynolds by nearly 40 sec- from dif- t o t h e wh en cutting nal ly Bry an faster fthrough side door onds at a normal walking speed. Tip Four - Cuddle up Wrapping up in blankets and cuddling up to stuffed animals isn’t just a great way to deal with heart ache it also helps to keep one warm. No one is go ing to judge someone for car rying around a blanket when it is thirty some odd degrees outside. Movie nights with friends is also a great way to spend the cold season, huddle up, pop some popcorn and it’s a guaranteed fun night with friends and ensured appre ciation for it being too cold to leave the dorms. Tip Five - Hand warm ers and Hot drinks Great for more 1 than science experiments, I Hand warm- srs can actually fhelp one shake I that terrible I cold in their fin- Igers during the [cold months. Hot drinks can be used the same way. Sometimes ' just holding a warm drink can cause someone to warm up, not to mention the amaz- feeling to have hot 1 i q - uids running down your throat. Tis the season of hand warmers, coffee, and hot chocolate. Tip Six - Exercise Exercise actually helps to heat the body up; however, do not do it outside. Running for short distances actually makes one colder because their body takes longer to heat up, but if they are planning to take a two mile jog, more power to them.
