Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted an early spring, but the odds of him being right this year are low. We’ve got plenty of winter weather expected between now and March 20th (the official first day of spring), the upside of which means the potential for even more snow days! To get you through these last few weeks of freezing temps and flakes, I have compiled a bucket list of ultimate college snow day activities.
1. Bake cookies for everyone on your floor.
You will be the most loved person on your floor, for all eternity.
2. Rent sleds, snowboards and skis, and go all out on the biggest hill you can find.
I can’t guarantee you’ll be as good as this guy, but you can certainly find out if you are. Be sure to be careful around younger children and families.
3. Make snow ice cream.
I promise it exists and is delish.
4. Craft.
Break out the hot glue gun and glitter, it’s Pinterest DIY time.
5. Marathon your favorite childhood movies.
Make hot chocolate, snuggle in with your friends and remember what life was like before you knew 15-page papers existed.
6. Or your current favorite TV show.
7. Get your entire floor/building into a snowball fight.
Snowball fights are for children, you say? Nonsense.
8. Catch up on some much needed sleep.
When is the next time you’ll be able to take two naps on a Wednesday?
9. Make a snow mural.
You’ll need squirt bottles, water and food coloring. Mix a different food coloring into each bottle and squirt onto the snow to make some epic art.
10. Help a neighbor shovel their driveway or sidewalk.
If your campus is near residential houses, gather some friends and help a few folks dig out. Helping others always makes you feel good, and the people will really appreciate it. Also, it can boost the reputation of your school.
