For those of us here at Boston University, another snow day now seems like another week in Bean Town. As the Northeast gets pounded with more and more snow, and the weather channel keeps inventing names for these tundra-like blizzards, the girls of Boston University plan yet again for another snow day. If you are a culprit of one or more of these snow day activities then you have succeeded in your days off in my book. If you have yet to try any of these out, then let the following be your guide to the next twenty snow days to come in this never ending winter.
1.Watch Movies
Whether it’s an excuse to re-watch all the movies that have more than one sequel, like Hunger Games and Harry Potter or you decide to sing-along to Frozen because you love the snow and looking at it, but not so much actually freezing yourself to go play in it.
2.Over Use the Keurig
Coffee, green tea, more coffee, then some hot chocolate pods that you don’t like because they’re just not cozy enough. You dirty all your mugs, that will not get washed for the next week, just to make the hot liquids that over caffeinate you for no reason because you will not be doing anything else for the rest of the day.
3. Have a Nail Painting Party
Let’s be honest, we all love a good manicure, but as college students we save the money where we can. So there is nothing better than a friend who has a hidden talent for perfect manicures.
4. Complain About Having To Leave For the Dining Hall
It’s only a block, if that, away from your dorm’s front door. Some lucky people here at BU don’t experience this feeling because their buildings are connected. You hate those people on these days. So instead you say, “Guys lets just order food and make someone else deal with the blizzard!”
5. Then Complain About Not Being Able to Order Food
Grubhub, Foodler and all other food delivery services are not working and restaurants shut down. How are you supposed to get the Pad Thai that you need to eat because the dining hall is just SO FAR. Why does Massachusetts being in a state of emergency affect your food delivery? Oh well, left over Valentines Chocolate and all microwaveable foods it is.
6. Say You Are Going To Be Productive By Doing All Your Homework
Something along the lines of, “Guys we have so much time and we aren’t going out so let’s actually all do homework so we don’t have to worry about it!”
7. Then Not Doing a Drop of Homework
The usual response goes, “Okay okay, next movie, but guys we NEED to. I’ll do work after this one”.
8. Online Shop
Okay yes you all have your laptops out for homework, but Tobi is having a 50% off sale and buying things online makes you all feel as though you have done something remotely productive with your day.
9. Drink Wine
For no reason other than using big wine glasses and looking like a Olivia Pope while you watch marathons of Olivia Pope and tell yourself you deserve this glass of wine for staying in all day and doing nothing because SNOW DAY.
10. Have a Giant Sleepover With All Your Friends and Staying Up All Night For No Reason Because … SNOW DAY.
Even if you don’t live in the same building as all of your friends, you still pack a duffle and move in to brace the boredom of a snow day together and probably wind up sleeping on an air mattress all together with lots of blankets because for some reason the snow over powers all heating systems at BU.
