The Best Things to Do When You’re Snowed In

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bloom U chapter.

We all know that the best feeling in the world is sleeping in because school is canceled, because there’s three feet of snow pressing against your window. But what are you supposed to do AFTER you wake up? Here are five things to do on a snow day.

 

1. Watch movies!

There’s nothing quite like staying in all day and watching Netflix while the snow piles up. Some of my favorite series: “End of the F***ing world,” “The Little Prince,” and “American Horror Story.” Enjoy!

2. Go out and build a snowman!

Some of my favorite snowy pastimes come with building a snowman, the fattest and tallest snowman to be exact. Maybe try having an unspoken war with a couple neighbors to see who can build the best snowman. Go nuts!

3. GO SLEDDING!!!!

Racing down a hill and blazing a frozen trail can cure any snow-day boredom! A few tips I have for newbies: start out with the long plastic ones–they’re cheap and usually go extremely fast.

4. Do something nice

You know the person who shovels the sidewalks? Maybe make ‘em hot chocolate or coffee to show your appreciation! You know, especially if you live in a dorm, that you wouldn’t be able to get around without them!

5. Make your favorite food!

Prepare your favorite food after a day of relaxation and fun, and reward yourself with your favorite meal. It’s awesome to refuel your energy and positivity until the next snow day. ;)

 

Stay warm everyone!
