Essential Kellogg Fashion  

Posted by Dino in , ,

Will I look hot in this? :-(  (c).

While Sammie and Glammie have been talking fashion, I've been talking to a current Kellogg student about a different kind of essential wear: thermal underwear.With temperatures touching -32 Celsius at times in Evanston, apparently this kit is absolutely necessary. Another friend has warned me: "get ready to adopt a whole new sense of fashion". Yikes!

I don't think I've ever lived or experienced that kind of cold before. The furthest the UK reaches is perhaps -10 Celsius. Chicagoland winters has already scared off one Kellogg admit ;-). I'm imagining my eye-lashes freezing over, becoming brittle and falling off. Oh, what horror awaits. I better order my thermal underwear.

Heh -- yeah, I am a wimp. Had enough of Illinois winters during childhood. :-)

It will probably not be that bad for you given that you're in England. I feel very bad for those who will be traveling straight from warm places in Asia or South America to Kellogg, though!

I had a friend in undergrad who grew up in India and came over for the first time to the US to start school. I took him shopping in Sept. for "winter coats" and he picked out two thin zip-up fleeces. I had to explain that it was colder than that during the winter in Illinois. "How cold?", he asked. "K, it's so cold you can actually die from it."

He was totally shocked, but learned very quickly. :-)

Yeah, some people say the cold in Chicago is not as miserable and grey as the cold in London. Got to be a good thing. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself ;-).
