It may still be 18 in my room, but I'm still going to sleep in a hoodie under 2 blankets with thick socks

18 outside = fine unless there's wind, 18 inside = I think I'm going to freeze

As much as I really want to live in Europe, I'm not sure I'd exist past the first week of autumn there

Lol that's a good point. It's honestly a bit of a miracle my room was even 18 when it was 12 outside. My bathroom was most certainly not though, that was definitely 12...

This reminded me of the first place I lived when I get sober. The walls had a giant crack, so I had to wear all of my clothes and had a blanket but was still shivering so bad I couldn't sleep.

Good times, good times.
