Are you always sweating?
No matter if it’s freezing outside or not, there’s nothing worse than arriving to class completely drenched in sweat. I’m not sure if it’s nerves or the long trek across campus to reach my classes and car, but it’s incredibly embarrassing. My hair ends up looking a mess, and my shirt is soaked—I’m even concerned about the smell. It’s just so uncomfortable! Is anyone else experiencing this, and does anyone have any tips to help?

I totally relate to what you’re going through! Sweating can be really frustrating, especially when it feels like no matter what you do, it keeps happening. Here are a few suggestions that might help:
Stay Hydrated: It sounds counterintuitive, but drinking enough water can help regulate your body temperature and might reduce excessive sweating.
Dress Smart: Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or moisture-wicking materials. Dark colors can also help hide sweat marks.
Antiperspirants: Consider using a clinical-strength antiperspirant. Applying it at night can give it time to work better.
Plan Your Route: If possible, try to take a less direct route to your classes that might be less physically demanding or pop into a building to cool down for a minute before heading into class.
Layers: If you’re worried about your hair, wearing a light sweater or cover-up can help hide sweat until you cool down.
Relaxation Techniques: If nerves contribute to your sweating, techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness might help calm you down before class.
Remember, you’re definitely not alone in this! Many people deal with similar situations, and it’s totally okay to find what works best for you. Good luck!
