9 Snow Day Rules

Snow days are special.

They are rare, beautiful flashes of complete idleness in an otherwise busy world. They are free from responsibilities—even responsibilities as minor as eating adult foods, wearing adult clothes and practicing personal hygiene. But a great snow day is not a given, if you aren't careful you may just ruin it and end up having a *gasp* normal day. But don't worry, if you closely follow the below nine rules, you are sure to enjoy every glorious moment of your next snow day.

1. No bras or underwear that goes up your butt allowed!

Snow days are days when the ladies should be free and wild inside their stained Garfield T-shirts. As for underwear? Your lacy pink thongs with the rhinestone embellishments should stay in the drawer. Snow days are for your soft mustard yellow Hanes full coverage panties that your mother bought you when you were 14 years old.

2. No kale or quinoa or spirulina or any of that bullsh*t

I know you don’t really like that type of food anyway, no matter what you tell your cute soul cycle instructor with the pony tail and the yin yang tattoo. You would rather have a quinoa spinach bowl with tofu than four s'mores pop tarts and a grape soda? Liar. Be honest with yourself on a snow day.

3. Don't act too mature to like snow

You want to build a snowman. You know you do. Just go do it.

4. No going to the gym

Read No. 3. Playing in the snow is exercise enough. Plus, if you really work up the motivation to go to the gym on a snow day, your friends will resent you and talk about you behind your back. Don’t be that person. No one likes that person. Put the Nikes away.

5. Alcohol is allowed at any time of the day

My personal suggestion is Bailey’s in hot chocolate, but if you feel like drinking Sangria at 2:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, who am I to stop to you if it’s a snow day? Get a little drunk, get a little sloppy, accidentally spill red wine on your sheets and take a nap anyway. Watch Animal Planet and cry when a wildebeest drowns because you’ve had too much tequila. Leave your ex a voicemail of you singing "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman" while you cry into your mixed drink. There’s snow outside, today doesn’t count.

6. Only stretchy pants allowed

Don’t be that a*&hole who puts on a cute lil' snow bunny outfit. We don’t want to see your charcoal gray cashmere turtleneck dress with your sensible, but cute-heeled Timberland lace ups. Go put on your yoga pants with the holes in the butt and XXL men's T-shirt that says “Exercise? I thought you said extra fries,” and get your *ss back in bed, young lady!

7. Only slippers (snow boots if you absolutely must go outside)

Acceptable reasons to take off slippers:

a. You are out of Pop Tarts and must go outside to retrieve more.

b. Alcohol run.

c. Taking bubble bath.

d. Sleeping.

e. Your lover prefers you barefoot.

f. You have those socks with the little traction rubbery guys on them.

g. Snowman building/sledding.

h.You ran out of Pop Tarts again.

8. No diets allowed

Refer back to No. 2. Eat like the queen you are. You wanna make flaming hot Cheetos-covered fried chicken? More power to you. You want to ask if Domino's can do triple the bacon on your meat lovers pizza? I’m proud of you.


9. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do

Don’t even get out of bed if you don't want to. Don’t speak at all if you don’t want to. Don't answer your bosses calls if you don't want to. Don’t “use this opportunity to catch up on work” if you don't want to.

Life goes by fast, take a snow day and enjoy it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
