No, I Would Not Like To 'Snage'

A day party in the snow is the least appealing thing that I could think to do on a snow day.

No, I Would Not Like To 'Snage'
Ariana Pelosci

It's every college students favorite phrase: snow day. There will not be a day where students would protest getting a day off to just relax. However, most college students use their snow days to do other things such as snage.

Snage is a combination of the words snow and dage. A dage is a party during the day for college students. Honestly, college kids will give any excuse to party.

For me, the logic is flawed a bit. Dages in general just isn't appealing, but going out in the middle of the afternoon in the snow is what I would least like to do on my day off. If I get a day off from school, I'm going to be using it to catch up on sleep and my Netflix shows.

For a majority of college students, we use snow days for something constructive or relaxing. Snaging is not on my list of things that I would like to do. It's definitely not on my bucket list of things to accomplish before college is over.

Nobody actually wants to stand outside in the snow with hundreds of other college kids drinking. It's just something that is made normal in college. Nobody really questions it.

It's part of the college culture. If there's anything to celebrate such as a snow day from school, college students will be there to party about it. It's one of the most unique parts about college.

After this chapter in our lives is over, we can never again to have an excuse to party in the snow in the middle of the week. I guess savor it while you can because it is truly special.

Before college, I wouldn't have even thought that people would willingly go out in a snowstorm. Like any sane person, I was thinking that a snowstorm would keep people in bed all day while watching TV. It just goes to show that college will party anytime they can.

If you need me, I'll be laying in bed finishing up my season of Grey's Anatomy. Not standing out in the cold with my fellow students day drinking with piles of snow around me.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

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

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
