Snow Days Are The Best Days
This past month has proven something to the people of Clemson, South Carolina.
Winter does exist, and it can hit our campus. Last week’s storm proved that our
university looks beautiful in all types of weather. Clemson glistened under a blanket
of snow, and there was something truly spectacular in these hills. If you’re still not
convinced, here are some reasons that snow days are the best days, and no one does
snow days better than Clemson.
Scenic Pictures
Clemson on a fall day…stunning. Clemson on game day…beautiful. Clemson on a
snow day…gorgeous!
I didn’t think our campus could be even more picturesque, but I was wrong.
Seeing Clemson’s iconic landmarks coated in a pure and magical layer of snow was
special. It made me fall even more in love with this amazing university. Instagram
and Snapchat sure got a workout last Friday night, but I don’t think either minded
capturing the beauty that is Clemson University in the snow.
No Class
If you think elementary school kids get excited about a little snow that means
canceled school, you haven’t seen college students when classes get canceled. As
soon as it started sleeting, half of my dorm was outside staring at the sky. Sure the
workload piled up inside, but that doesn’t matter when you outside frolicking in the
snow with your best friends. Students anxiously waited to get that campus-wide
email on Friday that freed us from classes. Alarms were turned off, and extra hours
of sleep were gained. It was a beautiful thing!
Lazy Days
Snow days in the south are good excuses to stay in bed, watch Netflix, and take
copious numbers of naps. Nothing feels better than being snuggled up on a futon
under a warm, fuzzy blanket drinking a cup of hot cocoa. It’s the perfect scene
especially as you read a book or watch the snow fall from the perfect, Carolina sky
outside your window.
Snowball fights and Sledding
Snow days are the perfect time to act like a five year old, and no one knows how
to do that better than college students. As soon as enough snow accumulated,
snowball fights commenced, and dorm rooms were searched trying to find
something that could pass as a sled. Campus collectively rushed outside as soon as
the snow fell. Snowmen were built, and snow angels made. Nothing could be better
than playing in the snow under a winter sky with your Clemson family.
And lastly…DABO!
