Winter

Hi blog world

I have a rant! I see it every day. I usually wake up in the morning and check the weather. I would like to know what I should wear outside so I don't freeze or possibly burn up should it be unseasonably warm as it has been recently. Should the temperature be anything below 50, I usually just grab my coat. If it is 20's I will add a scarf to that. It makes sense to me. I don't want to have numb arms by the time I get to class and I certainly don't want to put myself at risk to get sick. I still see it every day.

That "cool" person, well I guess I don't even need to put it in quotes because I would imagine that they are quite literally cool. The guy who is out in just a t-shirt when it is 30 degrees with a 17 degree wind-chill. I mean, come on. You are not fooling anyone. You are freezing your ass off. It is especially obvious when said dude has both hands buried as far as he can get them in his pockets. Way to go. You look like a fool and you are probably catching a cold as I am judging you and you are possibly killing brain cells, or, you dress like that because you have already killed so many brain cells because of your weekend activities. Anyway. It is even more funny to me when I see the ultimate, t-shirt and shorts! Oh man. Are you going for a record on how numb you can be and still make it from class to class? Is it really that uncool to wear a coat? Or even a jacket? Or even JEANS? So what if they are dirty. We know that they were two days dirty yesterday so wearing them one more day probably won't make a difference. I feel sorry for these people. I don't like being cold, and my face is usually pretty numb when I get to class so I can only imagine how uncomfortable you are.

Another one of my favorites, people getting over excited for 50 degree sunny weather. Ok, it is a bit different. There is an edge taken off of the cold, however, it is still COLD. It was around 50 degrees the other day, yet, there was a wind chill that made it at least 30 degrees. The sun did feel nice but I observed on several different people *light jackets*. I feel like they should learn by now that wind has a penetrating effect. It will skip right past your jacket and onto your skin and you might as well not even be wearing your light jacket.

So epic fail on this college campus. Jackets are not so square. Really, they just keep you warm. They are not even that much of a hassle. I feel that they are worth the hassle. Which is basically nonexistent.

  1. Just thought I'd pop in and say that being cold does not cause you to catch a cold.
