Spring is in full swing at Carolina with this week’s lowest and highest daytime temperatures being a warm, humid 72 and 84 degrees. The heat is back and so it the back sweat.
Use these tips and don’t let your STOR 155 crush catch you looking like a swamp.
The bare necessities
If you aren’t going to use it that day then it should not be in your backpack. The less weight you put in there, the less it will lay against your skin.
Leave for class earlier
The more time you have, the slower you can walk, which means less energy being exerted which means less sweat.
Don't wear it if it's not necessary
Sit it on the ground while waiting for the bus. Standing directly in the sunlight with a heavy object on your back when you don’t have to will only make the situation worse.
Carry a large tote bag instead
Guys can do this too. No one is going to think this it’s your “purse” and even if they do think that then you should be confident enough in your masculinity that it doesn’t matter what they think.
Rotate your backpack’s location
Wear on your back for five minutes, then wear is on the front. It’ll look funny, but at least you won’t be sweaty.
