11 Things To Do When You're Snowed In

Winter is in full swing people! The snowstorms are just getting started, and so is our ability to withstand the incredibly alarming decrease in temperature. As we all know from prior experiences, it is terrible to be snowed in with nothing to do. We all get our fair share of cabin fever during the winter months, and certain activities can help us keep that feeling of complete boredom at bay.

*It is encouraged that you talk someone into getting snowed in with you so you don't go insane.*

1. Pick up crafting.

With some help from Pinterest and the craft supplies that have been in the back of your closet for a questionable amount of time, you can be up to something relatively productive and hopefully cute in no time!


2. Try out baking/cooking.

If you don't end up causing a small fire from your go at this hobby, and your stuff doesn't turn out half bad, your roommates are sure to love you for making the day a little cozier.


3. Drink a questionable amount of hot chocolate.

This is your chance to make all the types of hot chocolate that's in the videos on Facebook. If you're not into that, just see how much you and your roommate can drink until someone gets sick.


4. Organize your room.

This might be a far shot, but if you're tired of doing nothing you could organize your room. If you're anything like me, you've been swearing to do it all semester. And if you're even more like me you'll avoid this task at all costs. Who can blame ya? It's the thought that counts anyways.


5. Challenge yourself to watch as much Netflix as possible.

How rude of Netflix to even assume you'd rather be doing something else with your time. We've all watched a season in a day before, we know it can be done. Reach for the stars and go for two seasons, maybe even three.



6. Get a jump start on your assignments for a class.

It's absurd that I'd even suggest this, but on the off chance that someone is feeling ambitious and studious GOOD FOR YOU! It's not likely that it will happen, but it would be a smart move to take the time off to get ahead.


7. See how many naps you can take.

Really push your limits with this one. Don't stop anything short of three naps. Although it is encouraged that if you wake up from time to time that you do watch Netflix.


8. Play boardgames with your roommates.

Odds are, you only have one or two boardgames, so it's only a matter of time before one of you goes crazy, but it's still worth the hour of your time it takes up. If someone in the house in dangerously competitive, maybe opt for an activity that doesn't cause any friction with the people you're snowed in with.

9. Embrace your New Years Resolution and workout.

The gym is more than likely out of the question here, but there's a ton of cool YouTube channels for working out. If you're in sweats and a t-shirt you're basically half way there.

10. Try all the face masks you own.

What better time to smear stuff all over your face all day? There is none. That's the answer. So get to moisturizing, exfoliating, and all that good stuff. You'll come out of this snow day looking beautiful.

11. GO PLAY IN THE SNOW

~Duh~ it's only the most obvious snow day activity!! Grab your sled and go!

We don't get snow days often, so when we do, it's best to take advantage of the time off and embrace the chance to do some pretty awesome activities.

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.
