Best Things to Do on a Snow Day

Best Things to Do on a Snow Day

This winter is not like the other winters I have experience, partly because of the lack of snow that Washington, D.C. receives. 

To be fair, I am not a fan of winter weather.   However, seeing my hometown get a ton of snow each week and my high school receive multiple snow days, I can't help but feel a little jealous that I have not received one snow day yet! Each week I check the weather hoping that there is some chance of a snow day so I can do my favorite things. But, each week I lose hope when the original 3-5 inches forecasted becomes “a dusting to an inch of snow”, a.k.a. nothing. 

Once again, there is snow in the forecast this week.  This forecast means I have my hopes very high for a possible snow day, as well as the chance to finally do my favorite things, meaning associate Frozen with every part of my day.

 


 

First

 

First you wake up, look at your email, and get really excited that you don’t have to go to class. Then, after you get over it really quickly, you fall back asleep for as long as you want, dreaming about Elsa’s castle and a wonderful world full of snow.

 

Second

 

Best thing to drink on a cold, day? Hot chocolate. Make yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate, put your fuzzy socks on, and drink it in bed while watching Frozen (obvi). No better way to celebrate a day off.

 
 

Third

 

So, since you just watched Frozen, have  Do you want to build a snowman? stuck in your head, and saw just how cute Olaf is, all you'll really want to do is build a snowman of your own.

 


Fourth

 

Make snow angels! There isn’t anything more fun than laying on the cold ground in your clothes and soaking up all of the snow. It’s even a nice exercise since you have to put your whole body into it.

 
 

Fifth
 

 

Watch a really good movie, cuddle, or hangout with friends. There isn't a better way to spend a cold day watching a movie you haven't seen in a while, or just a really good movie in general. Take time off from doing homework for a little and actually enjoy a day off.

 

 

 

When it comes down to it, find a way to spend your snow day in a comfy, fun, or relaxed way. You have the day off from school and so many opportunities with how to spend your free time, especially with there is snow on the ground. You'll be surprised to see how fun it is to have a snowball fight, go sledding, make snow angles, and build snowmen-- even at this age.

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.
