❆ How To Survive A Snow Day ❆

SO, this was not the original post that was supposed to go up this week, but... what do you do when you wake up Tuesday morning to a world of white and a blizzard blowing in your face? YOU WRITE ABOUT IT OF COURSE.  I'm not even kidding you though....

 Snow. Snow. Snow.  EVERYWHERE.

It only maybe, kind of, just a little, sent me to bliss? I MEAN, IT'S SNOW.  This winter was so incredibly warm (which is kind of um, strange.  Especially for where I live.  LAST WINTER we could skating on the pond almost every day for a week, it was THAT FROZEN.), but this winter we apparently had summer in February?!?! And then we get a blizzard in March.  Cool.  cougcoughcoughcough very cool if you get what i mean 

And what's even more ironic is that we got hit with this blizzard (I AM NOT KIDDING Y'ALL.  It is a WINTER STORM.) two days after Daylight Savings? Spring is next week? It doesn't really look like spring out there, people.  More like...um, middle of January? Yep.

On another note, if you're wondering why I am writing this post (about SNOW) when spring is literally in five days (!!!!!!), it's probably because IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE SPRING FOR ME AND I FEEL LIKE WRITING ABOUT SNOW. *sobs in a corner* Also, for all of you guys who are currently in eighty degree weather, if you could send that my way that would be great thanks.

BUT if you find yourself in a situation like me, with two feet of snow needing to be shoveled off the driveway, let's celebrate and drink hot chocolate, aye?

This one is super important, whether you're outside or inside.  Our house actually has a wood stove (Which is equivalent to THE BEST THING EVER), and I started it up a few hours after I woke up, and Y'ALL.  There's nothing better and more perfect than watching the snow fall and hearing the wind howl and listening to the sound of wood crackling in the stove.  OH MAN.  Just writing that made me shiver.  It's the best.

And it's also really important to stay warm when you're outside too :) I LEARNED THIS YESTERDAY.  Especially if it's still snowing and the wind is blowing, stay w a r m.  Plus, who wants to get sick anyway? 

THIS ONE IS THE BOMB ACTUALLY.  We were talking about in Spanish class on Monday how it's so much more nicer when we know for sure school will be out on a snow day so that we can sleep in.  HOLLA.  I usually get up pretty early in the morning, and I cannot EXPLAIN how amazing it is to be able to sleep in on a school morning like ASDKFJSDL it's perfect okay.  I definitely recommend catching up on sleep if you have a snow day.  It's good for you and who doesn't love more sleep?! 

 DEFINITELY.  Though, I've found it to not-be-the-easiest to take pictures of snow :P Any tips on that? I've tried to capture falling snow as it comes, and I'm kind of getting it, BUT IT COULD BE BETTER. There's nothing better than working on your photography skills on a snow day, right?

Haha, of course, duh. I mean, how much more perfect could your life become?? You know that cookie recipe you've wanted to try for a while? WELL throw aside all your fears and conquer it.  JUST DO IT. *cough* OR if cooking is more your thing you can do that too.  Just...food, people.  It's the best.

BECAUSE IT'S SNOWING AND YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO.  Wow, this is like the picture perfect snow day, honestly.  Grab a book and just read.  It's pretty much the best thing you could do on a snow day.  Plus, it will get your mind going and ready to WRITE.  Which leads me to the next idea....

It needs written, okay.  Those words have to get out out of your head and onto the paper.  It might be hard.  You might not want to do it.  BUT IT'S IN YOU.  Write even when you don't feel like it.  It's what you do, and you can't quit just because you don't feel like it.  THERE'S 2 FEET OF SNOW OUTSIDE, YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.  So just sit down, turn off your wifi, and w r i t e. 

(I also wrote all of that for myself because hahahahaha look who's not meeting her deadlines?!) 

*lets out a huge sigh* MAYBE? JUST MAYBE? I know for me it's the last thing I want to do on a snow day, but sometimes, snow days are actually really great for getting. things. done. It's not always fun, and sometimes you have to really put your mind to it to actually get to work, but it's one of the most rewarding things.  To be able to say at the end of an awesome day off "I accomplished so much today" is hands down such a good feeling. Also seriously that driveway needs shoveled get to it already.

SO.  YEAH.  That happened.  Tell me what the weather's like for you right now!? It's crazy how different it can be in different places.  I know most of you probably aren't crawling out after being buried under an Everest of snow. xD  I'm just grateful that we still have our electricity though.  OUCH. Have you ever seen snow? THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT TO IT, TBH.  Or do you normally get a lot of it?  I was looking at GIF's online, and I found these two that I thought pretty much sum up my feeling about snow and winter.

When I see snow at the beginning of winter:

By the end of winter:

XD But do y'all even like snow? I do....IN MODERATION.  But since we didn't really get a ton of it overall this winter, I really don't mind this that much. (But there's still a part of me that's yelling SUMMER right now ugh) #life 

BUT LET'S TALK! What are some of your favorite things to do on snow days? ♥
