With fall quarter calming down, a couple things are happening.\u00a0 First, you probably have finals.\u00a0 Go ahead and read the paper, then go study.\u00a0 Next, you probably need to register for classes.\u00a0 Go do that.\u00a0 Pick some fun ones.<\/p>\n
After you register, and once the finals are over, you\u2019ll have a break.\u00a0 But something bad is going to happen during that break.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s going to get cold, man.\u00a0 Really cold.\u00a0 We\u2019re thinking freezing temperatures all the time.\u00a0 And, because we care about you, we have some nice tips to help you survive.<\/p>\n
1) <\/strong>Wear layers<\/strong><\/p>\n Here\u2019s the thing.\u00a0 You can\u2019t stay inside all winter.\u00a0 We\u2019ve tried, and eventually it becomes hard to eat.\u00a0 So, when you do go outside, put on lots of clothes.\u00a0 Maybe put on shorts, then some sweatpants.\u00a0 Wear long johns, then a t-shirt, then a sweatshirt and maybe a coat too.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget gloves and especially a hat.\u00a0 Protecting your ears is very important.<\/p>\n That might seem like a lot.\u00a0 You might end up walking like the Michelin Man.\u00a0 But at least you won\u2019t be shivering like the poor sap beside you.<\/p>\n 2) <\/strong>Be prepared before you leave the house<\/strong><\/p>\n If you know weather will be a factor once you hit the roadways, the best possible thing for you to do is take it slow. \u00a0Give yourself plenty of time.\u00a0 It\u2019s better to be late to work than dead.\u00a0 If you think that\u2019s a joke, ask anyone who will be speeding on a snowy highway this winter.\u00a0 Now normally we\u2019re all for people that want to take risks.\u00a0 But, we fear that your risk taking might cost us our lives, so if you can please refrain, we\u2019d appreciate it.<\/p>\n Take it slow on the roadways.\u00a0 That\u2019s the best way to proceed during the winter.<\/p>\n 3) <\/strong>Keep your vehicle ready to go.<\/strong><\/p>\n CarTalk.com recommends a number of things for your car.\u00a0 First thing, have a cell phone with you just in case you break down.\u00a0 Make sure you have plenty of antifreeze and that you check often to make sure you don\u2019t get low.\u00a0 Also, keeping half-a-tank of gas in your car helps prevent vapor lock.\u00a0 Plus, if you get stranded, plenty of gas means plenty of heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With fall quarter calming down, a couple things are happening.\u00a0 First, you probably have finals.\u00a0 Go ahead and read the paper, then go study.\u00a0 Next, you probably need to register for classes.\u00a0 Go do that.\u00a0 Pick some fun ones.
