15 Things To Do When You Have A Snow Day

1. Binge watch Netflix.

Let’s face it, you’d probably be binge watching Netflix anyway but at least now you have an excuse to do it! You can’t go anywhere so you might as well watch "Friends" for 10 hours straight. Who’s going to stop you?

2. Read.

If you’re trapped inside and your Internet is down because of the blizzard, why not pick up a good book?

3. Play outside.

Embrace your inner child and go play outside! Throw on your snow gear, grab a sled and enjoy the day! Nobody says that sleigh riding has to stop when you grow up. Be a kid!

4. Watch a movie.

Nothing says “mid-afternoon” movies like a snow day! Cuddle up with your favorite blanket and turn on a movie.

5. Do some homework.

Not necessarily a fun thing to do, but odds are you have homework that you’re avoiding and you’re trapped inside, so get some of it done!

6. Organize your room.

Clean out your closet and your drawers. Get rid of the junk that you’re hoarding and get organized! You’ll feel so much better when you do, and you’ll feel extra productive when everything is tidied up!

7. Exercise.

Stop using that treadmill in your house as a coat rack and start using it for it’s actual purpose. Maybe being stuck inside because of the snow is just the push you need to start exercising!

8. Bake.

Bake cookies. Bake brownies. Bake a cake. Bake pies. Bake any dessert food that you can think of. Go on Pinterest and search for cute winter themed cookies and make them from scratch! Then not only will you have a tasty treat to enjoy, but you’ll also have some very Instagram-worthy food.

9. Drink some wine.

Being an adult is hard and wine is great. A snow day is the perfect excuse to break out a bottle of wine and wind down from the latest stresses in your life.

10. Arts and crafts.

Again, Pinterest is your best friend on snow days. Crafts are a really fun way to embrace your creative side. You don’t have to be a Picasso by any means, but even if arts and crafts isn’t your forte, coloring a picture or making a cute snowman out of construction paper can be fun and a super great way to boost your mood!

11. Break out the board games.

Board games are super time consuming and I know that I very rarely finish one. If you’re stuck inside with your family or your roommates, break out Monopoly and finish the entire game from start to finish.

12. Plan your next vacation.

Dream about warmer days and plan your next vacation to a tropical island. It’ll give you something to look forward to, especially if you’re not a fan of the snow.

13. Make hot chocolate.

A snow day isn’t a snow day without hot chocolate. There’s nothing more to it.

14. Nap.

Take a nap. Eat some food. Repeat. Snow days are for napping. Nobody expects you to do anything on a snow day which is exactly why you don’t need to feel unproductive or guilty for taking an extra long nap. Catch up on your sleep!

15. Relax.

Odds are that unless there is a crazy blizzard outside, you’ll be back to the real world tomorrow. Take advantage of the snow day while you can and do whatever you need to do to relax. Read a book, color a picture, watch a movie or go play outside! Snow days can be fun if take advantage of them!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
