Well, for one, mechanical clocks sound so much better—the ringing of perfectly chiming metal is far more pleasant to the ear than whatever Apple sounds we can’t even differentiate from a phone call. And it’s much more satisfying to turn off the mechanical alarm than telling Alexa: “alexa. Alexa. Alexa! ALEXA SHUT THE **** UP‼️‼️”

It doesn’t have to be radar or xylophone, you have options! Edit it in the clock app, thank me later.

And it was hard. Unbelievably so. And it burnt me out. It was a good experience, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

what’s your budget range?
Edit:
I‘m a big proponent of Canada Goose—but they did stop using real wolf fur in recent years. I’d also recommend Boden or Patagonia for lighter weather. The North Face has some good products you could check out like their HMLYN down parka or McMurdo line.
REI usually has some good downs too, but I’m pretty sure they’re rotational and differ based on region.
I’ve spent most of my adult life so far all over the east coast and my advice is that if you’re looking for an all-in-one option, yeah, the parkas are good. But I would also recommend having some lighter down jackets, at least one pullover sweater, and some layering, as well.
As for being current college student, I’ll let you know that sometimes, you just say “fuck it” and go out in your hoodie and a beanie or ear muffs when it’s -10°F and deeply regret it after 😂. Also scarves/neck gaiters MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. ALSO WOOL SOCKS.
And though I can’t speak on these brands as of late, my friends recommend LL Bean, Columbia, Lole, and Alpha Industries.
