Winter Wellness

When I think of this weekend's weather, two words come to mind. ABSOLUTELY FREEZING!!! Smart people opted to spend their Friday inside, where it's nice and warm. My friends and I still went out, but decided the walk to the T-stop would be too painful. So, we took a cab out and back home. Our formerly mild winter has taken a turn for the worst. Temperatures in the low single digits combined with a wind chill make it brutal to step outside.

It is important to dress warm and take the necessary steps to avoid getting sick! All Boston students still have to walk from destination to destination, regardless of the outside conditions. Dressing appropriately, meaning don't walk to the gym in shorts, (no matter how tough you are) is a good rule to live by. Wash your hands often, rest when you're sick, wear a hat, and take your vitamins. The following sites offer useful tips on how to survive winter:
