Winter is officially in full swing, and I for one am really upset about it. The first snowfall is pretty and all, but after that, I’m done with winter. Everything is gray and gross, and I just want to stay inside all day.

So for those days when you just can’t handle the freezing temperatures, here are my favorite things to do when it’s too cold outside to even bother leaving my apartment.

1. Reading a book

I’m an English major, so this one is pretty obvious. If you don’t like to read, this might not be your first choice, but it's really relaxing to just pick up a book, curl up with a warm blanket, and read for a little while.

2. Jamming out to throwback songs

When I get bored, I fall into Spotify rabbit holes, and I end up listening to songs that I haven’t listened to since my awkward middle school days. It’s actually a lot of fun, and if you can get your roommates involved, it’s even better.

3. Movie marathons

Disney movie marathons are the best, but really any genre will work.

4. Coloring books

I’m 20 years old and one of my favorite things to do is color. It’s so calming and it helps to pass the time if you’re really bored.

5. ordering food

Even though it’s technically not cold indoors, it’s still perfectly acceptable to use the excuse “it’s too cold out” to not cook yourself dinner.

I hope everyone survives this winter. May the odds be ever in your favor!
