Res Life Problems: University Student Uses a Hairdryer to Keep Her Body Warm

• A student living at her university's residence got creative and used a hairdryer to keep herself warm
• She chose this electrical appliance because heaters are allegedly not allowed in the university's building
• People in the video's comment section were in awe of the creativity and provided suggestions, while others felt they related to the situation

As the cold air tells South Africans it is here to stay for some time, many people are finding ways to stay comfortably warm. For one university student, she had to get creative to achieve this goal.

Tlhalefo Geco took to his TikTok account (@tlhalefosgeco) to share a video of a resmate thinking outside the box and using a hairdryer to keep herself warm. In the short clip, the young lady lies under a white blanket on a bed. Lifting the blanket, she uses the hot air from the hairdryer on her legs.

The student then used the electrical device to heat her hands before moving it to her neck.

To explain why the young lady was using a hairdryer and not some other heating device, the caption of the video read:

"POV: Heaters are not allowed at res."

"Buy those portable heaters from Takealot."
