7 Reasons Snow Days In College Are So Much Better Than In High School

In This Article:

Yes, I am a junior in college and yes I still wish for snow days. There is something so exciting about knowing that all of your responsibilities are put on hold, even if it is just for a short 24 hours.

1. That test is postponed for ANOTHER week

You can sleep soundly knowing you just bought so more time to prepare.

2. All of your friends are within walking distance (or may even live with you)

There's no better time for a sleepover.

3. You probably won't have to make up the days

Odds are professors will postpone the class' plans to the next time you have class. Thankfully at GW, we don't need to worry about the "180 days of school" requirement.

4. You can stay up late doing work OR relaxing

Turn off all of your alarms and do what you please!

5. Sometimes you really needed a self care day, but couldn't fit in your schedule otherwise

It is so important to spend time on yourself. In order to present the best version of you, you need to take time to reflect and treat yourself to the things that make you happy.

6. You can catch up on the sleep you definitely don't have

Sleep is a requirement— not a luxury.

7. You don't have to go outside and help your parents shovel or clean the car off

Giphy

We all have to admit, shoveling is not the move and will never be.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
