1. Netflix marathons. Catch up on your favorite shows or check out the one your friend has been raving about.

2. Go ice skating! Even if it isn't below freezing where you are, you can look for an indoor rink.

3. Perfect your cooking/baking skills! Chances the your fridge at home is a bit more stocked up than what you have access to at college...use this to your advantage.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"
