It’s 4:04pm, I am sipping on my Starbucks iced dirty chai that I got this morning at 9:30am. Ok so the whole spiel is that when I woke up this morning (at 8:40) it was snowing! Just a bit, but it was exciting. It was also 17°F!!!! Feels like 3°!!! That is insane. I’m not good with the cold. Whenever someone asks would you rather be too hot or too cold I always say too cold because I don’t want to be sweaty and nauseated, most people who have asked me always choose to be too hot. This I couldn’t understand. Until today. Now I think I might understand. I was bundled up:

layer 1 sweatshirt and leggings

layer 2: puffer and jeans

layer 3: scarf and hat

I knew I should’ve added a layer but I didn’t. I always thought cold because I can wear layers and be snuggly, but this hypothetical lives in one room to me, so it’s always been obvious. Today, I braved the cold. I should’ve had another layer.

So cold that I decided I was going to get to school super early so I can get a Park Mobile spot and warm up inside the building. I was ready. I downloaded the app and put all my information in. I get to school, and the spots are full. I do a lap thinking maybe something would open up, it didn’t. I parked in the parking garage. I stayed in my car with it on (very unlike me) for the heat. When leaving my car I go to grab my chai and then thought about how cold I already was, the distance to the building, how cold the drink is, and the no gloves. I decided to leave my drink behind. When I came back to my car at 12:06, my chai was there waiting for me like it never left. Still cold. Iced. Perfect.

Now it’s 4:04 and I’ve been locked in working on my ads and completely forgot to drink my chai.
