I Want A Snow Day | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Snow is great even though sometimes is make me hate snow. It is so beautiful and can sometimes give you a Snow Day. Not usually at CU, but we always hope and pray. Here are 35 reasons to love a snow day.

1. It’s like pressing the PAUSE button the the DVR of life. As crazy busy as our days at teachers are, this is our pause.

2. Hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.

3. I get to catch up on my Google reader that now stands at about 865 inspiring blog posts that I want to read.

4. Spending an unexpected day off with family.

5. Cook something warm in the crock pot and dinner is not a drive-by situation as we rush in the door from a hectic day.

6. Extra marshmallows. Oops, did I mention that already?

7. Because of Twitter, I never know what I will learn on a snow day, but I can guarantee I will learn something.

8. Watching those TV shows that I need to catch up on. Today? It’s The Walking Dead. Yes. I love Zombies.

9. Getting messages from other students who are enjoying their day off, too.

10. Sleep in!

11. No work! Though I should probably make up my hours later this week… nah.

12. I get to sit by my warm, cozy (electric) fireplace all day. Nothing beats that after coming in from shoveling the walk… several times.

13. Reading. All day. Whenever I feel like it.

14. Lifetime Channel. I got to watch sappy romantic movies all day.

15. Snow. It’s pretty… even when I have to shovel it... several times.

16. I get to be lazy. Never left the house once. But then, I couldn’t since the plows left waist-deep snow right in front of my garage. (My roomate shoveled that mess!)

17. When else can you just not show up to work, and it’s not a big deal?

18. No traffic. I wasn’t cursing other crazy drivers... just the snow plows that only plowed half of the lanes.

19. I have 4-wheel drive, so I can still get out if I need to. But why would I want to?

20. I get to take my time having my coffee and eating my meals. No need to worry about break times.

21. I got a good workout by just shoveling. No need to do my stationary bike.

22. And I didn’t have to wear make-up or mess with my hair. No need to look nice when no one’s going to see me!

23. Snow is stunningly beautiful.

24. You could even say majestic.

25. Whether it is daytime or nighttime, snow sparkles.

26. Cities look more charming and playful blanketed in snow.

27. The middle of nowhere becomes Narnia.

28. Playing outside is the best, especially with close friends or family.

29. You and Elsa CAN build a snowman!

30. Making snow angels even if they make your butt cold.

31. Going sledding down a big hill to make your own, personal roller coaster.

32. Tubing up in Frisco is the best day.

33. Skiing and snowboarding speak for themselves.

34. We need snow for Skeleton, the sport with the awesome name.

35. SNOWFLAKES ARE A MIRACLE OF SCIENCE.

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?
