11 Truths Every Vermonter Knows About Free Cone Day
Huffington Post

Everyone and their mother show up for free cone day. I mean, who wouldn't want free Ben & Jerry's? We are all used to waiting in line for at least a half an hour, and it's all worth it in the end. Get bored? They have employees coming around with ice cream facts!


2. You will get multiple ice creams during the day

What's so wonderful about this is that you can get in line as many times as you want...or as much ice cream your stomach can handle

3. You have been going ever since you were little

It doesn't matter how old you are, everyone loves Ben & Jerry's. I remember going for dessert with my family because it's an all day event!



4. You see multiple people you know in line

You're from Vermont, of course, you will see people you know!


5. You always get the same flavor

Once you fall in love with a flavor, you always say you will try another, but in the end, you always stick with what you love! For me, that's Cherry Garcia!


6. You don't need to look at the menu being passed around

There's always a menu being passed down the line to tell you what flavors they are serving that day. It usually stays the same every year, unless they have a new flavor they want people to try. Again, once you have fallen in love with a flavor, chances are, you are going to get it every time.


7. You are upset when there is no Ben & Jerry's near you

No one else understands the struggle of not being able to go to Free Cone Day. Like it should be a National Holiday

8. You have it marked on your calendar months in advance

APRIL 4TH BABY!!!


9. Calories don't count today

*Scoff* What are calories, there's no such thing!

10. You've skipped work/class to get ice cream

It was the best feeling in the world junior/senior year in high school when my friends and I were finally allowed to leave campus during school hours. It came in handy for Free Cone Day because we definitely skipped classes that year to go get ice cream


11. You pile an illegal amount of people in your car to go

I couldn't tell you exactly how many people, but it definitely looked like a clown car when we all got out.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
