On cold days like today, one thing I do to stay warm is not getting out of bed. My bed is the warmest thing in the house when I wake up. Conveniently, I am already right there, so I just stay there. I will usually reach for my phone and go on Facebook or iFunny. The only time I will exit my bed is when it is time to eat.
Unfortunately, my way of staying warm does not work on five of the days out of the week. I have to drag myself out of bed, and then get ready for school. On those days, I will usually wear my warm Early College hoodie. I will also try to walk indoors whenever I can. Luckily, I can walk upstairs in the tunnels from most buildings to get to my classes.
Staying warm is one of the hardest things to do in the winter. Boy Scouts has taught me that once someone gets cold, they will stay cold. One major thing to avoid in the cold weather is being too warm. If someone is too warm, they will begin to sweat. Sweating is bad because it is the body's way of cooling down. Once someone is wet with sweat, they will get cold, and then stay cold. It is important to dress warm, but not too warm.
