Anyone got any good ideas on how to cool off?

My room is so damn hot even being naked ain't helping I got an electric fan blowing but it feels hot and the windows are open it's 80⁰ out side I know to some of you that's nothing but I live in indiana and my stupid mother has the appartment blowing heat and set at 80 and everytime I go to change It she yells saying if it's hot open a window and get naked but like I said it's not helping I took a cold shower and instantly after getting out it's hot. Anyone got any ideas

wet the middle of a long towel with iced water and slightly squeeze it and then place it around your neck with the ice part on your neck, depending on how hot you are you went more of it and you sleep with it.

Also using Vicks vapor cools you off BUT need to be careful if you've never used it, or even if you have, well it can feel too cold it hurts.

Vicks makes my skin look so nice and feel so soft that one time I took a shower and instead of lotion I lathered up vaporub on my entire body and I went to bed.

I became sooooo coooooold!! I was freeeeeeeezzziiinggg!! I covered myself more and the more I covered up the more cold I got. I didn't realize I was enclosing in the vaporub into my skin the more I covered myself.

was so sleep but it hurt so much I had to walk myself to the restroom and open the shower to the warmest I could tolerate and stood under extremely warm water almost hot and iw as still freezzzziiiinnggg I was crying and was scared, id din't know if I was going to die and after a long while of being in the extremely warm water I got out because I was too sleepy and it didn't feel as cold anymore
I was scared to put my clothes back on because it felt colder when my skin was covered

I ran with a towel to my room and hat to turn on a heater instead of covering my body so I slept naked with the heater on for comfort.

SO! if you opt for vaporub don't do what I did but you can get a tiny bit and just place it on the places you get the hottest or where you sweat the most maybe.. while also placing the icy wet towel around the neck

it probably helps to drink an icy cold drink as well

Wrap a wet towel around you and get in front of the fan. You will freeze to death

I learned that in scuba class.

If feasible, try getting yourself a snowcone maker. You can usually find them for a few dollars in resale shops or online; the limiting factor is that they're kind of loud. Typically, you'll have two or three molds you fill with water and place in the freezer, then take them out and put them in the machine, then you grind them (this is the noisy part) and get a bowl full of ice flakes. There are many available syrups to flavor it (both regular and sugar-free), but plain ice is good, too, if you're just looking to cool off.

If you have a container large enough to fit your feet in it, put some cold water in it, about a third full and put your feet in the cold water along with your fan on. After 5 to 10 minutes you will begin cooling down and the heat transfers to the water. Empty it and refill it with cold water again. That should cool you off quite a lot.
