Today, for some reason in the middle of March, is the second snow day of the semester. In previous years I would be very excited as a snow day since it would just be a day of me hanging out with my closest friends since we all lived together. However, since a fire in the beginning of the school year separated my friends and me, I've had to think of new ways to stay entertained on a snow day. Most of these activities involve being lazy and relaxing, which is perfectly fine with me, but I try to do at least one thing to stay active. These are the different stages of a snow day for me.
1. Trying to actually sleep in![]()
I have no idea why, but sleeping in has become harder and harder as I've gotten older. I try my best to let myself sleep in, but I usually end up waking up multiple times. Today I somehow slept until 10, which is very unusual for me, but at least I feel pretty well rested!
2. Being too lazy to get out of bed
I pretty much have nothing that I NEED to do today, so being too lazy to get out of bed is okay. I allow myself this longer amount of time to rest because on other days of the week I'm running around campus like crazy trying to get from TAing, to my internship, and to work. So, the extra time to lay in bed, in my opinion, is well deserved.
3. Deciding what to watch
This is a problem for me on most days, but, it becomes an even bigger problem for me on days where I literally have nothing else to do other than watch a show or a movie. Sometimes this process takes longer than the time it would take to actually watch the show or movie.
4. Lots of snacks
Last night I stocked up on some snow day snacks so I would be prepared for this long day of laziness. Though I have a kitchen and will most likely be cooking dinner for myself, the rest of a snow day is usually filled with chips and other snack foods.
5. Deciding to do one productive thing in the apartment
Today's productive house work task will most likely be doing my laundry. I'm lucky enough to have a washer and dryer inside my apartment so this doesn't involve going outside into the snow at all.
6. Exercise
At some point today I'm probably going to start to feel guilty about how lazy I've been and how much snack food I've eaten, so I'll probably try to fit a small workout into my day, just to get myself moving.
