Don't even try to lie, we all hope and pray for a snow day during the beginning of spring semester. We just had a full month off of school, how can schools really expect us to just jump back into using our brains?

We watch the weather like we should study our textbooks, wear our pajamas inside-out and do crazy snow dances with the intentions that we will wake up to the UK alert telling us the amazing news, "all classes canceled!" Unfortunately, college snow days are just as rare as the sky not being blue. But, when that day finally rolls around, are you just going to sit on your couch all day and watch the snow fall? I sure hope not! Here is a list of 5 fun things to do in Lexington on those flurry days!

1. Head to the bowl outside of Willy T

Grab a trash bag, a cardboard box or a trashcan lid and make your way to the bowl with a few of your best pals! There's no better way to spend a day off, due to snow than playing in it!

2. If the cold is not for you, stay in and cuddle up

Head to the kitchen and make yourself the biggest, sweetest cup of hot chocolate you can make. Then make your way to the couch with the fluffiest blanket you can find. Curl up and warm up with the newest movie on Netflix!

3. Take a trip to Perfect North

If you and your best buddies are big into snowboarding and skiing make a day of it! Perfect North is the perfect place for you to spend a chilly day! Not up for the car ride? Make it time for lots of junk food and catching up with friends you have been to busy to hang with recently!

4. Get organized

If you are like me, after the first week of classes your room may resemble a bomb going off, your planner might be filled with chicken scratch and your textbooks may be lost somewhere in your mix of folders and laundry. A snow day is a blessing in disguise for you! Take the day to go through syllabuses, write out your schedule and label your new school supplies!

5. Grab a cup' o joe with your bestie

What better way to spend a cold day than to bundle up, make your way to the cutest coffee shop in Lex and gossip with your bestie about the hottest Kardashian news! Get caffeinated and warmed up all in one trip!

So, whether you are a stay inside type of person (me!) or the type of person who likes to jump into snow piles, make the most out of your day off! We all know they hardly come around so embrace it while you can!

And of course, at the end of the day, do your snow ritual and hope that you have another one tomorrow!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
