Snow days used to be things I wished for from the bottom of my heart. I was definitely the kid that put their pajamas on inside out or put toothpaste on their nose in hope that I would wake up in the morning to mountains of snow and no school.
Now that I go to college on in Los Angeles, snow days are no longer a realistic wish. But while I was home on winter break, New Jersey, New York and many other states were hit with the Bomb Cyclone, including my hometown. Though I didn't get any days off from school, my sister did, so I lived vicariously through her. Here are some things I suggest doing on the days where you wake up to a 5am phone call, email, or tweet that gives you the day off:
1. Sleep in.
If you get out of bed before noon, you've made a mistake.
2. Stay in your PJs.
There's is no reason to change into normal clothes for a day full of lounging. Also fuzzy socks are a must.
3. Make hot chocolate.
Don't forget the marshmallows!!!
4. Curl up with a blanket and a book.
Just try to pretend that you don't live in arctic temperatures.
5. Binge a show you've been wanting to watch on Netflix.
I'm currently binging Stranger Things and it is a must see!
6. Get caught up on some school work/work.
If you're feeling productive on your day off then get ahead on some assignments.
7. Help shovel.
When I was little I would want to always help out with the shoveling, now not so much.
8. Play in the snow!!!
If there's no wind and the temperatures aren't in the negatives build a snowman, have a snowball fight, or make some snow angels! If you're able to get out of your house giving sledding a spin!
You've been given the day off so choose to spend it in whatever way you want! Happy snow day!!!
