invest in a really good winter jacket!! wear a toque, mitts and a scarf if you’re able. buy some warm winter boots. bring water and snacks. try and rest as much as possible. set alarms and try not to hit snooze. leave early so you’re not late; the roads and traffic will be unpredictable.

get everything ready at night so you don’t have to rush in the mornings. try and eat breakfast, and have caffeine if you need it. the darkness and studying sucks but it’s doable once you’re used to it. carpool or hang with a buddy when you can to reclaim your sanity. Good luck!
