As we all know (and are all very thankful for), Thanksgiving break is coming up fast. We get out next Wednesday, Nov. 25, and have the rest of the week off until we have to return to class again on Monday.We all have so much to be thankful for. We are all blessed to be attending the great University of Oklahoma, and we are all blessed that Norman isn’t as crappy as Stillwater.

What I’m also thankful for is that I can finally go home and grab all my winter clothes now that the apocalypse and sub-zero weather is approaching.
During my senior year of high school, when I decided to to go to OU, I remember telling all my older friends and acquaintances about where I would be the following year.
Though they were all supportive and proud, I remember almost every conversation ended up being about Oklahoma's crazy bipolar weather.
It seemed odd to me that people kept bringing up the weather, I’m from Fort Worth, Texas, which is only a three-hour drive away, so how much of a weather change could it really be?
When I got to campus, the weather didn’t seem too bad. It was pretty much the same as my hometown.
But then, winter approached—the humidity, the coldness ... the humidity.
Essentially, the whole winter thing in Norman means frizzy hair, runny noses and cold toes. So, I’m going to tell you what to bring back to Norman after Thanksgiving so you won’t die this winter and so you can be thankful to the Daily and I for mentally preparing you.
(1) Outerwear
This group has two main categories: sweaters and coats. Bring your fuzziest and biggest sweaters. You can do this without looking foolish. Go look on Pinterest, search winter outfits or sweater outfits, and you will be able to find a million looks. Then, bring your puffiest, fuzziest and biggest jackets to layer your sweaters with.
The most helpful tip: try and see if you have any waterproof or water-resistant jackets, because they will be your best friends when it starts snowing, raining, sleeting, slushing or whatever else can come out of the sky during the winter.
(2) Layering
I know that none of us are playing middle school or high school sports anymore, but let’s all get over ourselves this winter and wear Under Armour. This stuff is the real deal, and I proudly wear Under Armour when it gets too cold, because unlike some of you, I will not be suffering a long, cold and painful walk to class.
(3) Footwear
When I was a freshman, I thought that snow boots wouldn’t be necessary in Oklahoma. I was wrong.
Snow boots and/or rain boots are essential during the colder months, and they finally have cute versions of rain boots that aren't Hunters. Talk about blessed.
(4) Headwear
Ear warmers will be your best friend. If you’re anything like me (or just a average human being), the first things that get cold on your body are your fingers, toes, nose and ears. Keep those babies warm with cute ear muffs, gloves and fuzzy socks.
