10 Stages Of Your First College Snow Day
mashable.com

Snow days have always been a childhood dream for most of us. Back in the day, we did the whole spoon under the pillow or leave it by the window, and wear our pants inside out. It was a ritual that every child knew back then, and let's be real and not deny that we haven't thought about doing it once just for extra luck. But as college students, especially when you're snowed inside your dorm, your first snow day can be a roller coaster of great to maybe some crazy moments.

Here are the 10 stages everyone at least experiences once during their first ever college snow day.

1. The excitement sets in that Snow is finally coming into our lives.

For real, though, who doesn't want a snow day? Hot cocoa all day, and no classes. Being able to spend all this time with your roommates/friends. The excitement is surreal, and okay maybe some get a little over excited, but then again no classes.

2. Stocking up on food as if the apocalypse is about to happen.

We all really should start showing our appreciation to Target and Walmart. They're the real M.V.P's. We may not need all of those packets of ramen, but it's the thought that counts.

3. Eating all of the food you bought not even halfway into the storm.


Understandably, you've been stuck inside in this one room with all of the food. It was bound to happen one way or another.

4. Embracing the idea that it's a sweatpants and chill day.

The one day it's completely acceptable to bring out the old sweats. Trust that it will be the trend of the day.

5. Getting together with your friends, and binge watching movies and shows.

When getting altogether, a snow day is the perfect day to catch up or even start a whole series with your buddies. Sleep may be missed out on, but nothing's better than good old Netflix.

6. When playing in the snow seems like a great idea.

The sight of huge snow piles brings back the nostalgia of your childhood, so going outside seems like a dream come true.

7. Remembering how much you hate bundling up, so inside it is once again.

So playing out in the snow probably wasn't the greatest of ideas. You slipped on some ice, you're pretty sure frostbite has set in, and you feel like a big blob of layers. The indoors are welcomed back more than happily.

8. Cabin fever sets in.


No words are needed, we've all been there. When will the snow stop?

9. Obsessively staring out the window to see if the snow stopped.

As if every time we look out the window, the downfall of snow gets lighter.

10. Campus is reopened, classes are on schedule, and the countdown for the next snow day begins.

It was all worth it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
