Snow Day Surprise

The great winter gods of Canada have blessed us with a snow storm, and today actually is a snow day for me! Woo for long weekends. As great as snow days are, sometimes they can be a bit boring - usually roads are really nasty and you don't want to get into an accident so everyone just stays inside. So, I'm going to provide you with a few things to do to make your snow day (or just normal day... with snow) not so boring!

1. Get Caught Up/Ahead On Work

Yeah, I know, sounds boring. But it's my duty as your university blogger to make sure you don't completely neglect your work. Maybe read a page or two of that textbook you've never opened but should be done... Or at least make a title page for that 10 page paper you should be writing, okay?

2. Play In The Snow

Seriously, you're never too old to play in the snow. Grab a bunch of your friends, and get out there! Build a snowman, make a fort, have a snowball fight, make snow angels, go tobogganing (use lids off of containers if you need to). But really, don't be afraid to get out there and have fun - no one wants a party pooper!

3. Movie Day

If you aren't feeling well (there's a pretty nasty cold going around at my school) or you're just not a fan of the cold weather, snuggle up with some blankets, popcorn, hot chocolate and some movies! You could have a movie marathon... Some ideas:  Harry Potter, Bring It On, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Mission Impossible, James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, Nicholas Sparks Movies (get the tissues ready)

4. Bake

Get together with your BFFs, grab a cake mix and make a creation! If you're feeling really adventurous  you can try a rainbow marble cake! (Instructions here - http://www.paisleyjade.com/2011/05/marbled-rainbow-cake.html)

5. Build a Fort

If you never made a fort when you were a child, I feel sorry for you - because you have been deprived. Get all the blankets in your house/room and make a blanket fort! Not only is it a fun thing to do, but then you have a really cool place to spend the rest of your day.

6. Board Games Day

Get old school and dust off that old version of monopoly and have a games day with your family, friends, housemates, girlfriend/boyfriend or whoever you can find! Collect all the old board games (or any other games for that matter) and make it fun! 

7. Snow Day Party

Yeah it could be short notice, but hey, we're university/college students so we're okay with throwing together a party on short notice... as long as it means we get to party! Make it winter themed, or just have a good time.

In the end, the main thing is just to stay safe everyone! :)
