As the weather continues to get colder, you’ll probably find yourself indoors much more often. Although this means dressing in layers on layers and enduring annoying wind gusts every time you walk to class, there are some benefits to the season. Besides cozying up with hot chocolate, your favorite book, or Netflix, staying inside gives you so many more opportunities to listen to other people’s conversations. Don’t feel like braving the cold to walk to the subway? Head to the caf instead, where the close seating allows for some GREAT overheards. At least that’s what this professional eavesdropper has found. The results of my cabin fever are listed below in your #OverheardAtFordham No. 4!

[Author’s Note: This title and GIF are inspired by Fifth Harmony’s “BO$$”, a must-listen for any feminist looking for a new anthem.]
