So far, its been a pretty great winter, its barely snowed and the temperature has been pretty reasonable. This week however, is a bit different.  Today I walked to class in -3 Degree temperature with a wind chill of -20!!! I thought I would share some tips that help me get through the cold.

1) Invest in a long coat: My friends back home call them sleeping bag coats, here they’re called parkas.  No matter what they’re called, they are a necessity. The longer the better!!

2) Learn the bus system: At the beginning of the year I never made an effort to learn how to use Bongo (the University of Iowa bus app). But now as I’m trekking to class in the cold, I wish I would have.

3) 2nd Semester, plan classes close together: It is much nicer going from class to class rather than having to come back to my dorm in between. When it’s cold it’s hard to get the motivation to go to class. Having them back to back will help your attendance points.

Bundle up and stay warm!!

GO HAWKS!
