8 Things To Do On A Snow Day In College
Emma Hodson

Everyone loves a good snow day, especially in college. In high school, snow days came at a price: makeup days in the summer. However, college schedules are set in stone and won't change because of weather. So when the occasional snow day rolls around, enjoy it! Here are eight things to do while on your collegiate snow day.

1. Sleep in

This is a day off from school! Take advantage of it! Don't get out of bed until you want to. These unexpected class cancellations don't come around too often, so we have to sleep in whenever we can.

2. Go outside

Okay yeah. This is obvious. But what's the point if you just sit inside the whole time? I know that it is cold but take the opportunity to embrace it and be outside with literally the entire rest of the campus.

3. Take pictures

Did it even snow if you didn't take a picture of it? No. Snow is super Instagrammable, and it even excuses a crazy outfit! These will be times that you will look back on when it's 100 degrees in a couple of months and think about how much fun you had.

4. Go for a walk

Yes, it is cold. But you are strong. Nothing says snow day like a picturesque walk around campus or a lake. This way, you'll find all the best photo spots and see your campus in a new light.

5. Drink Hot Chocolate

Sometimes this one can be hard, because you don't always plan for snow, and may not have a ready supply of hot chocolate on hand. But there is bound to be someone on your hall who has an extra large box of hot chocolate mix and is willing to share.

6. Have a snowball fight

Enough said. Get out there and meet new friends by throwing frozen water at them!

7. Have a movie marathon

Snuggle up with your hot chocolate, of course, pop some popcorn and watch a super cheesy movie. It's a great way to pass the time while you are dethawing.

8. Catch up on homework

The Lord did bless you with this day off from school. It's probably a good idea to take advantage of that and finish all the homework that you didn't do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
