Snow Days: 11 Ways To Enjoy This Beautiful Break In Life
PikaPost


There are two types of people on snow days. The type that hates snow days and would do anything to get out of their houses, or those who get excited over snow days. I personally love snow days because it gives everyone a day to relax and take a break from your responsibilities. It is a day where you can do absolutely nothing. Here are some things that you can do on this lazy day when you're snowed in the house:

1. Build a snowman.

Embrace the snow! What better way to enjoy it then building a snowman? Get creative and turn it into a cool one like this "Harry Potter" one from the Wizarding World of "Harry Potter." I guarantee you it probably will not look like this, but you can at least try.

2. Sledding

Another way to embrace the snow is by going sledding. Sledding is always fun to do with a group of friends. Just try not to hit into a pole like I did once...or other people.

3. Movie marathons

This is one of my favorite things to do since I love movies so much. Whenever I am snowed in with my family, we all watch movies together. The difficult part is deciding what movies to watch because the possibilities are endless. "Harry Potter" or Disney themes are always good choices.

4. Netflix-binge

Now you finally have the chance to watch your Netflix show in peace. You now have the time to catch up on what you're watching (watch "Dexter!") or start a whole new show. Try to see how many episodes you can go through in a whole day. Warning: After finishing a whole show you might go through depression and question who you are in life.

5. Read

I personally love to read. I'm currently reading "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini and I definitely recommend it. Now you finally have time to catch up on any books that you are reading or want to read.

6. Clean

Now would be the perfect time to actually clean your room which looks like a tornado hit it because you haven't cleaned it in God knows when. Put on some dance music to make it fun and don't be afraid if you break out into some moves. The cleaning will get done faster and you'll be able to actually see the floor of your room.

7. Online shopping.

I think that we have all done this where we stare at our computer screens at the beautiful clothes and makeup that we want without actually buying anything. You will feel like you have some kind of claim on them in your shopping cart but you know that you don't have the money to actually get it. You can get excited now because your birthday is coming up soon, or you can cry because it's too far away. However, you can always be that brave soul and actually buy stuff and act like you didn't just spend your money.

8. Eat

Snow days are the perfect days to eat everything in your house. You can just go to your pantry with no one to judge you as you eat whatever you want. If you are on a diet, take a break. I know, I'm a great influence.

9. Bake

Baking is a great way to spend your snow days. Bake some cookies or brownies or maybe even both. Don't forget about the slutty brownies, too. After it is all finished, make sure you take a Snapchat or Instagram post of it so everyone can be jealous. Finally, you can eat your feelings away.

10. Make fun drinks

You are going to need a drink to go with all that baking and eating. Try to make some kind of fun drink. It can be hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream to go with the snowy weather or it can be a tropical drink if you hate the snow and wish that you were anywhere but here. Take out the blender and make some Pina Coladas or Strawberry Daiquiris. Virgin, of course.

11. Sleep

The best part about snow days is you finally have the chance to sleep in. Actually, you don't even have to get up at all. Catch up on some sleep and sleep the whole day away. Just imagine that Harry Styles is holding you like he is there.

Enjoy your snow days!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
