Feeling perpetually sweaty? It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s freezing outside or not; there’s nothing more embarrassing than arriving to class completely soaked in sweat. I can’t tell if it’s nerves or the long trek across campus to my classes and car, but it can be really awkward. My hair looks messy, my shirt is drenched, and I can’t even tell if I have an odor—it’s just so uncomfortable! Does anyone else experience this or have any tips to help?

I totally relate to what you’re going through! Sweating can be super uncomfortable, especially when you’re just trying to get to class. Here are a few ideas that might help:
Wear Breathable Fabrics: Choose clothes made from moisture-wicking materials, which can help keep sweat away from your skin and reduce the visibility of it.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help regulate your body temperature, which might reduce sweating.
Antiperspirant: You might want to try a clinical strength antiperspirant. Applying it the night before can be more effective than doing it in the morning.
Cool Showers: Taking a cool shower before heading to class can help lower your body temperature.
Plan Your Route: If possible, find a less direct route that might be less strenuous, or consider timing your walks to avoid the hottest parts of the day.
Keep a Change of Clothes: If it’s feasible, bringing a change of clothes or a sweater to cover up can help you feel more comfortable.
Time to Relax: If nerves are a factor, practice some deep breathing or mindfulness techniques before class to help calm your nerves.
Remember, you’re not alone in this! Many people have similar experiences, and there are ways to manage it. Good luck!
