I Like Coffee (Snow Days)

A few weeks ago, our school had a snow day, ironically enough, a day before our winter break began. Now, I believe most people will agree with me that snow days are great. You don't have any school work to worry about, you don't even have to go to school, so you can sleep in late, and there are so many things that you can do on a snow day that are productive, fun, or relaxed. Here are a few things you can do to make your snow days more enjoyable:

Play out in the cold
While it may not always be advised, this is usually a great way to spend a snow day. Parents these days are always saying how important getting exercise and going outside is these days, why should a bunch of white fluffy stuff on the ground change that? Gather some friends and construct a snow fort, have a snowball fight, birth a snowman, create a snow angel, go crazy! If you get tired or too cold, go inside for a nice steaming cup of coffee to warm you up for another round of playtime.

Catch up on some reading
I'm not sure how many of you are big on reading books, but if you're not big on the cold weather or just don't feel like going outside, it's a pretty good idea to just sit down in your favorite spot, curl up into a warm blanket and read the day away. Maybe have a hot cup of coffee within arm's reach on a nearby coffee table.

Watch a good movie
This is also a good alternative to going outside if you're not too fond of the frigid winter temperatures. Sit back, relax and enjoy a flick, possibly with a friend or two. There are so many possibilities to choose from ranging from action to comedy to romance as well as so many options in each genre to choose from. Make some popcorn and couple it with some candy and soda and settle down for your feature presentation. And, of course, coffee is always an option.

Game the day away
Most guys will probably admit to this one. Hell, even I do this most of the time. Sit down at the computer, pop in your favorite game, be it strategy, first person shooter or role-playing, boot it up and game like the wind. Although, make sure that you have a steady supply of a quality drink at the ready, such as coffee, to stimulate the mind, enabling your ability to make better decisions.

Be creative
Lastly, one of the best ways to spend a day to yourself is to do something that unleashes your creativity to the fullest extent in your own way possible. If you're an artist, draw something that you enjoy drawing. If you're a science person, try a new experiment (just don't burn the house down). If you're into physics or inventing, try designing a rube goldberg machine and, if time allows it, craft it. If you like to write, create a story of epic proportions. Personally, I suggest doing these in a comfortable, creative environment with music in the background and a large mug of coffee at the ready.
