8 Reasons Snow Days at College Are The Best
http://www.verbinet.com/

Snow days are one of the plus sides of going to college in New England. It's really cold and miserable while walking to class and going out on weekends means knowing you're going to freeze your butt off, but when snow days come around, it's all worth it.

1. No classes -- duh.

Not only does this mean no school for a day, it also means no trudging through the snow to class while trying to avoid wind chill on your face and possibly slipping in front of your professor.

2. Your best friends are right next door.

You don't have to worry about the roads being closed because all of your favorite people are within walking distance or right next door to you.

3. Food is easily accessible and already prepared.

If you're lucky enough to live in a dorm that has a dining hall in it, you can meander down there whenever your heart desires and you don't even have to rummage through the fridge for something to eat.

4. Day drinking. This is self explanatory.

5. It's an excuse to wear your pajamas all day.

Your mom can't tell you to put on some "real" clothes or take a shower. No rules!

6. The campus looks beautiful.

7. If you're a brave soul, it's perfect for adventuring and sledding.

Time to let the inner child in you loose and build a snowman -- except please don't sing that song from "Frozen."

8. You don't have to make up any missed days.

Unlike high school where you would be sitting in class until July, you're going to move out in May, regardless of snow days. So bring it on, New England!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
