Snow days are "just no" days.

Haven't seen a day above freezing in three weeks? Don't worry, I haven't either which is why I feel that I am not equipped to share with you the secrets of surviving the coldest days. Walking anywhere, let alone class, is rough in this weather, but if you bundle up enough you might make it through the day without your tears turning to ice while thinking about all the work you have.

1. As soon as you wake up, change into two pairs of leggings and a pair of sweatpants.

Maybe even add a layer of super comfy pajama pants.

2. Then put on a tank top, two shirts, and a sweatshirt.

There is no such thing as too many layers.

3. Make sure you have a huge blanket scarf to put on next.

If you don't have a wearable blanket, any scarf will do.

4. Don't forget to start boiling water for hot chocolate now.

A cup of hot chocolate a day keeps the cold away.

5. After you pour yourself a cup, get on those gloves.

10/10 would recommend the furry Urban Outfitter gloves.

6. Put on your puffy winter jacket.


You probably feel like a marshmallow, but a warm marshmallow.

7. Crank the heat as high as it goes.

Even if your heater makes a noise that makes you think it might catch on fire any second crank it all the way up.

8. Get back in bed.

Did you actually think you were leaving?

9. Pull the covers all the way up.

Form the perfect Netflix and nap cocoon.

10. Wrap yourself in another blanket.

Bonus warmth if you have a heated blanket.

11. Do not leave unless your GrubHub order arrives.

I mean, I wish I was kidding but really, there is no need to move when it is this cold outside.

12. Come up for air or for another cup of hot cocoa or for your second GrubHub order to come.

Again, it is too cold to actually do anything so might as well just embrace.

13. Think about how close summer is.

The beach. Music festivals. Driving with the windows down. Yes, summer is soon.

14. Remember that tomorrow is supposed to have a feel of -6 degrees, but also remember that tomorrow is no longer the weekend and you have class.

Repeat steps 1-6, but this time find the door and not your bed. Good luck in the cold - you got this!

Turns out, the best way to avoid the cold is really just to hibernate. Next time you think you want to leave rethink and head back to bed. If you have to actually go outside make sure that you bundle up with about a million layers!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
