Winter's Coming

Winter is coming and it's creeping up real quick. Growing up in New England my entire life made me assume I would be ready for my first winter up here in Plymouth last year, boy was I wrong. I came to school with Uggs for snow boots and a North Face for a jacket... The classic girl outfit. Well any freshman girls who are like me, get ready for a brutal winter. The amount of snow that never seems to stop will destroy your precious boots and give your toes frostbite. And that North Face you love so much, that we all claim is "SO WARM" will do nothing when the temperate drops below 0 and the wind is making your entire body numb. I got the hang of the winter climate pretty early in the season last year thankfully. It's my turn to give back and warn you freshman girls out there what clothing items are a necessity up here on campus during the winter.

1. Rubber sole, waterproof boots. For this I went with Bean Boots from L.L. Bean. They're cute and keep you warm if you're looking to stay trendy in the blizzard.
2. A waterproof, fleece lined winter coat. I personally like sticking with North Face for brand.
3. A hat, even if you think you look horrible in hats, its worth it. I don't have a brand preference but if you want to support the local town business, Simply Sunflowers on Main Street has a great selection for cute winter accessories. 

Of course a nice set of gloves and scarf are always nice to have in the dorm too. Do your best to have the 3 essentials though. Don't make the same mistake I did, because it gets pretty brutal up here. Get ready for a rough winter everyone, prepare while you can!!
