8 Ways College Kids Can Waste 8 Hours On A Snow Day
Abbie Wood

Snow days are all fun and games until you're stuck in your house for way too many hours and you feel like you can't remember the last time you saw the light of day and you're cold and everything's covered in snow and you have cabin fever.

it's exhausting!!!!

If snow days are your favorite things, or your biggest fear, here are some things to keep you occupied and hopefully sane throughout the day.

Plus, they might even distract you from the fact that you're basically trapped.

If done correctly, these are eight ways to waste about eight hours so then it's finally time to go to sleep again and hopefully wake up to shoveled sidewalks and plowed roads.

1. Bake Cookies

This will take roughly thirty minutes of the day, and then ten more minutes to stuff your face with them, sooo 40 minutes down, what feels like a million hours to go... *bonus if you make hot chocolate*

Count Down: 7 hours, 20 Minutes

2. Watch an old movie

nothing like watching your favorite childhood movie for the first time in a long time to help you forget that there's an avalanche happening outside your window. two more hours wasted

Count Down: 5 hours, 20 minutes

3. Build a Snowman/Sleigh Riding/Snowball fight

I lumped these all together because they're only possible if you're brave enough to face the blizzard. So, all of these combined could occupy another hour or so, because let's face it, who really wants to be freezing cold for much longer than that.

Count Down: 4 hours, 20 minutes

4. Build a Pillow Fort

bonus if you watch the movie in the fort. 20 minutes, gone.

Count Down: 4 hours

5. Clean your room

you know you've been putting this off for so long and now you're trapped in it, so what better time to tidy it up. This could take roughly another half hour, depending on how big the mountain of clothes on your floor is...

Count Down: 3 hours, 30 minutes

6. Play Board Games

Nothing like fighting over Broadway and Park Place in a good old game of Monopoly, another hour down.

Count Down: 2 hours, 30 minutes

7. Take a hot shower and have a mini spa day

Paint your nails, look up face mask recipes, treat yo'self. You just used up another hour!! Woohoo!!

Count Down: 1 hour, 30 minutes

8. Honestly...just start drinking

this will not only waste time, but it'll also eventually put you to sleep


Good luck, my snowy friends, stay sane!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
