5 Perks of Having A Snowday In College

Snow days have always been magical to me. You wake up at 6:00am all groggy and sleepy to get ready for school and you get that glorious phone call on your home phone. You hear your parents answer the phone in their sleepy Monday morning voices and the automated sound of the Gods come through your telephone.


"The _____ Public Schools are closed Today, February __,2017.



You proceed to dance around your kitchen in your fleecy Disney pajamas, make some hot chocolate, freak out at how pretty it is, and proceed to walk back towards your bed.

Only after you take a cute snap with the iconic temperature filter.




But when you're not in high school and you're surrounded by your best friends in college, University's close and you have no classes for the entire day.

You look outside your dorm room and see the resident lot covered to the brim in snow as well as the roads and branches 100% decorated in glittery white.


You look to your room mate, and realize how hype the rest of the day is going to be.

You can't wait to:

1. Grab your bin top and sled down the hill of your campus.


2. Hike up to the cafe with your best friends and try to not entirely wipe out.


3. Get hella creative with food and recipes and suddenly turn into gourmet chefs and make so many different crazy foods for the rest of the day.



4. Obvious Netflix binge


5. Board games all DAY.



It feels like a mini vacation from the craziness that is college life. So, while winter sucks. Enjoy those cancellations with your roommates and university buds!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
