Apparently, going to school in the snow capital of the world pays off once every 18 years. I was so excited about yesterday’s snow day, the first full snow day since 1993, that I wasn’t even angry that SU sent me six emails, four text messages and two voicemails to let me know I didn’t have to go to class. The day was made even better because no one had even mentioned the prospect of a snow day, since the idea is so foreign to us seasoned snow-trudgers. With 24 hours of nothing to do and nowhere to be, here’s how some of our staff spent their snow day!
“I started the day with a Scattergories tournament with girls on my floor…so intense! Then I spent the day with my pledge class talking about how much work we have to do and not doing any of it. Quality day!” -Lindsay Cameron, PR Director/Staff Writer
“I spent my day studying for midterms and catching up on the sleep I missed last night from studying for midterms. And I watched a bunch of episodes of Pretty Little Liars.” -Tonya Nelson, Photoblogger/Staff Writer
“Watched my boo (Shemar Moore) on Criminal Minds & went to the dining hall more times today than I do in a week! Yikes!” -Rosa Perez, Staff Writer
“I did some homework and watched Criminal Minds…and put on my sunglasses and blasted summertime music!” -Jen Camasso, Staff Writer
“My snow day kind of sucked. It didn’t really count for me to be honest, I never have any classes on Monday anyways so there was no difference there. I had to shovel, with my broken plastic one, my car which was covered. I even had to shovel underneath it so it would actually move.” -Dania Souid, Staff Writer
“I slept of course. And read Hamlet for an upcoming paper I have to write. No fun snow day for me. ” -Brittany Leitner, Staff Writer
