This past week most East Coast colleges and universities were blessed with snow days and the wintertime activities were plentiful. However, nothing is worse than being stuck inside all day with nothing to do on a snow day. Here are some great ideas for next time we (hopefully) get another snow day:

1. Stockpile Food

If you find out there is a snowstorm coming and you might have a snow day, it is always a good idea to stockpile food so you don't have to brave the storm to go to the cafeteria. Also, putting together ingredients to make a yummy meal in dorm kitchens is a fun way to spend your time with friends.

2. S'mores!

This snow day, my dorm had the great idea of building a fire and roasting marshmallows to make smores. Nothing is better than watching the storm while enjoying the heat and delicious food.

3. Sports

Playing in the snow during a storm is brave, but doable. A lot of students this snow day chose to play football in the snow and sled down hills at school.

4. Movie Marathon

Sometimes, despite being a film major, I find myself never watching films that I actually choose to watch. Snow days are a great way to catch up on TV shows or movies you've been wanting to watch, but never had the time to watch.

5. Games

Playing board games or app games with friends is a fun way to pass time and enjoy the day inside.
