8 Things To Do On A Snow Day In College

Everyone loves a good snow day, especially in college. In high school, snow days came at a price: makeup days in the summer. However, college schedules are set in stone and won't change because of weather. So when the occasional snow day rolls around, enjoy it! Here are eight things to do while on your collegiate snow day.

1. Sleep in

This is a day off from school! Take advantage of it! Don't get out of bed until you want to. These unexpected class cancellations don't come around too often, so we have to sleep in whenever we can.

2. Go outside

Okay yeah. This is obvious. But what's the point if you just sit inside the whole time? I know that it is cold but take the opportunity to embrace it and be outside with literally the entire rest of the campus.

3. Take pictures

Did it even snow if you didn't take a picture of it? No. Snow is super Instagrammable, and it even excuses a crazy outfit! These will be times that you will look back on when it's 100 degrees in a couple of months and think about how much fun you had.

4. Go for a walk

Yes, it is cold. But you are strong. Nothing says snow day like a picturesque walk around campus or a lake. This way, you'll find all the best photo spots and see your campus in a new light.

5. Drink Hot Chocolate

Sometimes this one can be hard, because you don't always plan for snow, and may not have a ready supply of hot chocolate on hand. But there is bound to be someone on your hall who has an extra large box of hot chocolate mix and is willing to share.

6. Have a snowball fight

Enough said. Get out there and meet new friends by throwing frozen water at them!

7. Have a movie marathon

Snuggle up with your hot chocolate, of course, pop some popcorn and watch a super cheesy movie. It's a great way to pass the time while you are dethawing.

8. Catch up on homework

The Lord did bless you with this day off from school. It's probably a good idea to take advantage of that and finish all the homework that you didn't do.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
