1. Catch up on everything

Whether it be homework or a new Netflix show you've started watching, snow days are the best days to do these things. It allows you to be productive without having to leave the comfort (and warmth) of your own home.

2. Movie day

Invite some friends over, make a nice cup of hot cocoa, grab your coziest sweater and enjoy hours of pure relaxation.

3. Play in the snow

You're never too old to play in the snow. Last year, my college had a snow day and everyone went outside to build snowmen, sled ride on air mattresses, or just to look at everything covered in snow.

4. Clean

You hate the cold and only leaving if you have to. Why sit around and stare at a dirty room when you can pass the time by cleaning it! You'll feel refreshed and have a lingering feeling of accomplishment when finished. It will also feel like a brand new room!

5. Try out some DYI projects

Retrieve those crafts you've had collecting dust in the very depths of your Pinterest board and try them out! You never know how much fun it can be until you try.

6. Make snow cones

Who doesn't love snow cones? When I was little I would just plop down in the snow and eat it. Now, you can be mature and make a treat your friends will love! Go out and put some snow in a cup and drizzle any liquid flavoring over top of it.

7. Call loved ones

Snow is fun but for some of our older families members it can be a burden. Make sure you set aside time to make sure they're doing okay and give them some of your time. It really does mean the world to them.

8. Parking lot fun

For our daredevils - with a lot of snow, comes a lot of ice. Many people I know personally enjoy going to parking lots (with very little to no cars) and spinning around doing donuts! This activity does require a license, four-wheel drive, and an extremely cautious driver.

9. Build a snowman

Nothing makes you feel like a kid again quite like the construction of your perfect snow friend. Grab a carrot and some buttons then your snowman will be brought to life!

10. Go sledding

If you have access to any type of land you can sled on, I completely recommend. The thrill of sledding can make you happier as well as relieve any stress you have temporarily (as if you really needed a scientific reason).

11. Write

Sitting around and wondering what to do might cause your mind to wander and get lost. This can spark inspiration or alleviate any writers block that was present beforehand.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
