Ways to Have an "Adult" Snow Day

Because you're never too old to enjoy a snow day.

Ways to Have an "Adult" Snow Day

For some of us, a snow day is actually a magical thing, not a nuisance. Those precious early morning emails with the word, "Canceled" can mean so much. Now that you're older, snow days may feel different than those childhood years of snowball fights and snowmen. That doesn't mean you can't, or shouldn't, enjoy them every bit as much.

1. Make a special breakfast (I recommend cinnamon rolls or cinnamon bun pancakes)

2. Re-read your favorite book, even if it was written for a 14-year-old

3. Wear your coziest pajamas all day and sit by the fire

4. Find the nearest ski area and go snow tubing

5. Put on a face mask that you made yourself

6. Take a long, hot bath using a bath bomb

7. Have a marathon of movies you love to hate/hate to love (like Twilight)

8. Binge watch Game of Thrones (the weather is pretty perfect for it)

9. Break out the games you haven't touched in years

10. Throw an adult sleepover with your best friends

11. Try out that crazy-looking cookie recipe you saw online

12. Make some hot drinks and go sledding

13. Cook a fancy dinner that takes all day, then invite some friends over

14. Start to plan a trip for Spring Break

15. Try on everything in your closet and come up with new outfits

16. Create the perfect snow day playlist and dance when no one's around

17. Finally open your adult coloring book

Now you can spend your snow day like adults do (or do they?)! Then again, a good snowball fight will always be fun.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
