Campus is closed and you are stuck in your dorm with your roommates with nothing to do. First it was MLK Day with no school, then it was a snow day, then it is another snow day. It is fun at first to have no classes, but with the roads being dangerous, you start to go a little stir crazy with staying indoors. Here are seven ways to make snow days more bearable:
1. Snowball fight
Grab some friends and head outside. Pack up some snow and let the games begin! This is a chance to see who your friends really are. Build some forts or use your surroundings to shield you from other players. It is really fun if you can convince your whole dorm building to play.
2. Watch movies
Start a marathon with some friends. See what everyone is interested in and see if any choices suit everyone's fancy. Whether it is one series of movies or a bunch of different ones mashed together, it is sure to be a fun night.
3. Make hot chocolate
You can surprisingly find out things about your friends with how they take their hot chocolate. Whether it is with milk, water, whipped cream, cinnamon, marshmallows, etc. You never know how many different hot chocolate combinations there are until everyone is putting in their order.
4. Play board games
Let's see who is the sore loser and who surprisingly has a good poker face. Playing board games is another way to get to know your friends better. Hopefully, it doesn't end with friendships ruined.
5. Wrestle in the snow
The snow can slow a person down and give you a cushion if you fall. Have fun in the snow and try to take down the biggest person. It is all in good fun.
6. Host a homework party
Put off your work? Get your friends to help you stay focused. If you see other people doing work, then maybe you could get some done too. Put on music, get in your corner, and put out some snacks. It is homework time!
7. Sleep
Catch on those ZZZs that first week of classes robbed from you. Even though it is the beginning of the semester, you feel the burden of those classes already.
