5 Must-Have Essentials for Winter While Living in a Hostel

Living independently is a roller coaster ride. It gives you numerous life experiences where you learn to balance your academic and social life, make life-changing decisions on your own and learn to improvise, adapt and overcome any adversities.

Living on your own is fun, but one should ensure that when they leave their hometown for an independent lifestyle, they should be equipped with the essentials required for their day-to-day activities. 

So, if you are a student who’s living independently in a GHS hostel, here are 5 essentials you should keep yourself equipped with:

• Sheets and Blankets

Even though Good Host Spaces provides single, double and triple occupancy residential accommodations which are fully furnished and equipped with proper mattresses & blankets to sustain winters, it won’t harm you to be prepared for any unprecedented change where you would require more sheet and blankets during winters.

• Earphones/Headphones/Earplugs

Not every person has a high tolerance for winters. Some do, while some cannot withstand it and their body temperature starts declining. It is advised to cover your ears and not let the cold enter your body.

• Sweaters/Thermal wear

Winter apparels are a must-carry during winter. They help keep your body warm and defend the immune system from becoming vulnerable. Good Host Spaces residencies are not on the outskirts of a city where a student couldn’t find a sweater or thermal wear, but it’s helpful if you’re prepared for any sudden changes in the climate.

•  Skincare

Human skin is highly receptive to the environment it’s surrounded by. In winter, water and oil retention lessen in our skin as the temperature declines. It is when our skin requires utmost care to not tumble down the path of dryness, flakiness and skin cell breakdown. It is advised to carry moisturisers and other skin essentials that can protect your skin in winter.

• Heating bags

They are an excellent remedy against soreness or any kind of muscle spasm during winter. With weather changes, students are likely to get ill often or even hurt while playing any sports at the amenities provided by GHS. The Hostels have first aid facilities, but knowing a home remedy that can save you money is nothing but a boon.

So if you’re planning to shift to a different city for further studies and live an independent life, ensure you’re adequately packed with all the essentials required for sustaining any weather, whether cold, rainy or warm.
