‘Tis the season! With the holiday season comes the 8 a.m. treks to class in freezing cold as you prepare for finals. Here are some tips on how to stay safe and warm on your walk!<\/p>\n

1) Check the weather – and the windchill! The windchill describes how cold it feels outside and it may be much lower than the actual temperature, so it’s good to know what to prep for.<\/p>\n

2) Stay hydrated. You may think about drinking water more during the summer, but drinking more water can actually keep you warmer by increasing your blood volume.<\/p>\n

3) Dress for the weather. Even if it looks hardcore to rock the Birkenstocks in the cold, it is not a very wise choice. You should invest in waterproof boots and a waterproof jacket for the snow and ice over top of warm layers.<\/p>\n

4) Be safe when drinking. Alcohol may make you feel artificially warm, but the cold weather can still hurt you. Bundle up and be safe when walking home after drinking.<\/p>\n
