8 Things To Do On A Snow Day In College
Emma Hodson

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.

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.
