What to Do With Your Snow Day, As Told By 'Frozen'

You're in college, where snow days are unheard of, and you're expected to walk to class even if it's 20 degrees below zero and you're almost knocked over by an Arctic wind every few steps. (I'm only exaggerating slightly.) Then the unthinkable happens. You wake up, look out the window, and see a foot of snow on the ground. You realize that your roommate is dancing around the room because the university just sent out an email saying classes are cancelled for the day. You're excited, but what do you do next? What's the best way to take advantage of this unheard of day? It may be a little overplayed, but here's a list of possible scenarios for your snow day, as told by the movie "Frozen."

1. Embrace the cold

If you're from the south like me (shout out to my fellow Texans), then the coldness associated with a winter that includes snow is probably a little bit of a shock. But if you want to enjoy the snow, then you're going to have to deal with a little cold.

2. Bundle up in warm clothing

Let's be smart about this. You can't possibly expect to go outside and actually enjoy the snow without wearing the proper clothing. I'm talking ear warmers, scarves, gloves, boots, six pairs of socks and layers on layers on layers.

3. Pretend that it's actually warm

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many layers you put on, you're still going to be cold when you walk outside. Just tell yourself that it's actually very warm, and your mind will totally buy it. Mind over matter, right?

4. Build a snowman

Come on, you had to know this one was coming. You've braved the cold, you're outside, so what's the next logical step? Building your own Olaf, of course!

5. Soak in a hot tub

After you build your snowman and need a little break from the cold, there's always the option of enjoying a few hours of relaxation in a steaming hot tub, if you actually have that available. My school isn't quite that fancy.

6. Sing a song

There's no better way to take your mind off the cold than singing a song about how cold it is. Obviously.

7. Have a snowball fight

This one is pretty self-explanatory — just pick up some snow and throw it at each other. Some people think it's fun.

8. Make dramatic ice sculptures

Or pretend to be a dramatic ice sculpture. Whichever is more your style.

9. Build your own ice castle

If you're feeling pretty confident about how your snow man and ice sculptures turned out, you can always move on to bigger and better goals, like building your own castle made of ice. I'm sure it's a relatively simple process.

10. Just enjoy spending time with your friends

Playing in the snow is great for bonding. It doesn't necessarily have to be quite this emotional, though.

11. But do remember to get the snow off of yourself before going back inside

Nobody likes it when you track snow into a building, especially the dorms. Also, you can tend to look pretty intimidating/like the Abominable Snowman when you're covered in that much ice.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.
