1.Classes will probably get canceled
Maybe just your morning class got canceled, but one is better than none. In fact, you probably turned off your alarm last night.
2. So much excitement campus-wide
Students are buzzing with the thrill of no classes and an opportunity to make plans with friends. It’s posted on everyone’s Snapchat story and Instagram photos.
3.Students actually do things for the first half of the day
For the first half of the day, students are everywhere on campus and we all turn into big five-year-olds. Sledding, making snow angels, building snowmen, and having snowball fights.
4.The second half… that’s another story
After the initial excitement has passed, however, everyone retreats back to their dorm or to a friend’s room because it’s getting just a bit too cold to keep playing outside.
5.The market is sold out of everything
If you want something specific, chances are they’ve already sold out of it. Especially if it’s vanilla, because you know, you have to have that to make snow cream.
6.That being said, a good number of students will be making and enjoying fresh snow cream
Snow cream is basically a food group during the winter, right? And you don’t have to worry about a shortage of snow here at App, there’s plenty to go around.
7.You tell yourself you’ll get some homework done today
Intentions high, you have the whole day to get caught on homework you’ve probably already procrastinated too much.
8. But in all actuality, it turns into a “you day”
Yeah… you knew when the thought first popped into your head that you weren’t going to get a substantial amount of work done, especially when the day is a perfect opportunity to just enjoy life.
9. Dinner might be a challenge
If you don’t have food in your dorm, that means you might have to trek down to Central or Trivette. And the snow at night is not fun. You're essentially snowed in, so if the roads are clear enough, some students end up ordering take out simply to avoid going outside.
10. You have to take a moment to appreciate the beauty
Even if the snow and the wind freeze you down to your core, you can’t deny how beautiful your campus looks covered in a blanket of white.The mini snow tornado coming off the hills even look beautiful, and everyone has to take a picture of some part of campus to commemorate this beautiful experience.
