10 Household Items That Can Double As Sleds
Chaela Minor

In This Article:

With the abundance of snow, we received this past weekend, many college students are looking for ways to have fun in the snow. Because funds can be tight and a sled may not be in the budget, here are 10 items you can find around your dorm or apartment to use to engage in some sledding activities!

Baking Sheets

The duck seems awfully jealous of this sled option!

Chaela Minor

Even better - spray the bottom of the sheet with PAM cooking spray for a quick, slippery ride down the slopes!

A Laundry Basket

Go ahead and dump your dirty clothes out on the floor and head for the hills....you can always clean later!

A Scholarship Check

Chaela Minor

Thank you so much for your generous support, donor! Your monetary donation will definitely allow for an adventurous ride down Slater!

A Lunch Tray

Surely they won't miss one from the dining courts anyway, right?....

An Air Mattress

This group took "lay back and relax" to a whole new level...

A Dry Erase Calendar

That calendar you use in your apartment to keep track of your roommates' schedules? While it works well to keep tabs on everyone, it makes an even better sled. Luckily, you can still use your phone to keep track of your schedule.

A Bird?

Chaela Minor

Birds have recently taken over many college campuses. They offer a quick, easy way to get to class...but an even more joyous ride down a steep, snowy hill.

Garbage Can Lid

But, don't forget to take out the trash first.

Couch Cushions

That furnished apartment you're living in? Who knew it also offered up great resources for some fun in the snow.

A Tote Lid

Chaela Minor

No better way to utilize those empty totes than as a sled, anyway!

Comment below some other fun, household items you've used as sleds to share the wealth of ideas!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
