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 Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
