This winter has been brutal in Orono, Maine. Walking from DPC to Dunn Hall in stinging cold negative ten-degree air is not ideal. On the bright side, Mother Nature did bless us with four snow days this semester. So with 96 total hours of no class, what did you do? I meandered around the Union asking UMaine students what they like to do on snow days. Here is what they said:

Heather Lipps
Undecided
Second Year

“On a typical snow day I like to relax, have a few beers, watch movies, pretty much anything to stay out of the snow.”

Benjamin Kerglonou
Business Major
Second Year

“I like to Skype and mostly stay in my room. One day I made a snowman.”

Charlotte Bertrand
Business Major
Second Year

“I go to the Rec center sometimes and relax in my room.”

Dylan Wingfeild
Business Major
Second Year

“I sleep in and catch up on studying I’ve been putting off.

Priscilla Dimitre

Secondary Education
Third Year

“Play in the snow and hit people and cars with snowballs!”
