The Best Time of the Year at Colby-Sawyer

Why winter is the most beautiful and lively season we get to experience

October is winding down and the snow will soon be here at Colby-Sawyer. The pretty foliage will be gone and the mountains will be covered in a white blanket that we should all be using to our advantage. It is truly the most beautiful season, other than Autumn, that we get to experience here on campus and there are plenty of reasons to fall in love with this time of year. Here are five reasons why winter is the best season at CSC.


1. Free Skiing


I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many people do not take advantage of this! I cannot lie, but it was one of the deciding factors when applying to this school for me. Being able to have a full season free ski pass is a dream for some kids and it is hands down one of the best elements that this school has to offer.

2. The Scenery


During my first year here, I was amazed at how early it snowed. I was in awe of the beauty that it brought the school. CSC is already unique and so pretty without it, but the winter makes every building on this campus sparkle.

3. Our Dorms


Can you imagine being stuck inside a cinderblock room during the freezing months?! Our dorms are quaint and perfect to snuggle up into when there are a billion feet of snow outside. Even though the radiators are loud and come on when they feel like it, I would take it over cold white walls and tile floors any day.

4. The Library


If you say you don't love the library in the winter time here, you are lying. The old barn is my favorite place to curl up with a book and sip on a coffee from, perhaps what was the most exciting addition to the campus, the espresso machine. You can see the fields behind the school covered in white and the icicles hanging from the windows. It simply just adds to the beauty of the school in this season.

5. Snow Days


Of course, the best part about the winter here at Colby-Sawyer is the plethora of snow days we get. It is the absolute best feeling when you wake up to a fresh sheet of snow outside and an email from the school basically telling to just stay in bed for the rest of the day.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
