Punxsutawney Phil may have predicted an early spring, but the odds of him being right this year are low. We’ve got plenty of winter weather expected between now and March 20th (the official first day of spring), the upside of which means the potential for even more snow days! To get you through these last few weeks of freezing temps and flakes, I have compiled a bucket list of ultimate college snow day activities.

1. Bake cookies for everyone on your floor.

You will be the most loved person on your floor, for all eternity.

2. Rent sleds, snowboards and skis, and go all out on the biggest hill you can find.


I can’t guarantee you’ll be as good as this guy, but you can certainly find out if you are. Be sure to be careful around younger children and families.

3. Make snow ice cream.

I promise it exists and is delish.

4. Craft.


Break out the hot glue gun and glitter, it’s Pinterest DIY time.

5. Marathon your favorite childhood movies.

Make hot chocolate, snuggle in with your friends and remember what life was like before you knew 15-page papers existed.

6. Or your current favorite TV show.

7. Get your entire floor/building into a snowball fight.

Snowball fights are for children, you say? Nonsense.

8. Catch up on some much needed sleep.

When is the next time you’ll be able to take two naps on a Wednesday?

9. Make a snow mural.

You’ll need squirt bottles, water and food coloring. Mix a different food coloring into each bottle and squirt onto the snow to make some epic art.

10. Help a neighbor shovel their driveway or sidewalk.

If your campus is near residential houses, gather some friends and help a few folks dig out. Helping others always makes you feel good, and the people will really appreciate it. Also, it can boost the reputation of your school.

Most importantly, remember that snow days can be far and few between, so make the most of them. That schoolwork will always be there tomorrow.

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.

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?
