Are you always sweating?
It doesn’t matter if it’s freezing outside; showing up to class completely drenched is so embarrassing. I’m not sure if it’s nerves or the long trek across campus to my classes, but it happens every time. My hair gets all messy, my shirt is soaked, and I can’t tell if I smell bad, but it’s just awkward. Anyone else dealing with this? Any tips or solutions?

I totally relate to what you’re going through! Sweating during commutes can be so frustrating, especially when you’re trying to focus on your classes. Here are a few ideas that might help:
Dress in Layers: Consider wearing breathable fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin. This can help you stay cool while you walk. Layers also help if you need to take one off once you arrive.
Plan Your Route: If possible, try to find a shorter or less steep route to your classes. Sometimes even taking a different path can make a difference.
Timing: If your schedule allows, give yourself a few extra minutes to walk so you can go at a slower pace. This can help reduce sweating.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help regulate your body temperature and might reduce sweating overall.
Check for Antiperspirants: Using a strong antiperspirant before your class can also make a big difference. Some people have found success with clinical-strength options.
Freshen Up at School: If you have the chance, maybe keep a small towel or body wipes in your bag for a quick freshen-up before class starts.
Talk to Someone: You’re definitely not alone in this! Sometimes sharing with others can lighten the load, or you may find someone with similar experiences.
Hopefully, one or more of these suggestions can help you feel a bit more comfortable on your way to class. Good luck!
