Winter

Some people are just built to survive all types of inclement climes, be it cold, rainy, stormy, hail or snow.  Some people even prefer the cold to heat.  I, on the other hand, live for bright blue skies and sunny days. I am, without a doubt, a fair weather wimp.

Learning to dress for these Bay Area winters is certainly a steep learning curve. From unpredictable temperature changes to the pressure of keeping up with Berkeley style, it can be difficult to know what exactly to put on in the morning.

It feels like I’ve always been cold. I remember freezing since I was as young as 10 years old. It only got worse from there. No matter how many winter coats or heaters or hot packs I bought, the cold would not leave me.

As the holidays approach, get ready for a range of sweet, fruity, cozy and delicious scents to bless your nostrils. Whether it’s scented candles or cookies fresh out of the oven, now is the time to take in a whiff of the jolly air around you. With so many scents to choose from, you may find yourself struggling to pick the best aroma for your home this season. Don’t worry, the Clog has come to your rescue! Without further ado, here is what holiday scent best fits you based on your major.

Rather than pining after lost childhood friends, or stressing over finals, listen to this list of songs instead. Reach for some earbuds, press shuffle and learn to survive the cruel nature of winter.

Let’s be honest, the classrooms in UC Berkeley are hot enough to boil you any day of the year, so it’s just a matter of getting from A to B in one warm piece.

Winter is the best time to enjoy various citrus fruits. The possibilities are endless, but I offer a few: palomas, citrus salads and cakes and shortbread.
