When we were but young children there was no greater joy than a snow day. Not only did this mean that we would not have to go to school on that day, but it also meant that there was enough snow on the ground to provide us with stuff to play in. However, now that we have reached college age, snow days have a totally other meaning: We can’t drive anywhere, and there’s nothing to do. Unless you want to start drinking at 11am, you’ve got very few options. More so in a city so full of fail that a snow plow can have a frozen gas line.

So what to do? Take care of your outdated Driver’s Licence? No dice, the BMV is closed. Seriously, do those people ever work? You could make a giant snow penis, but our own David Studinski documented the trials and tribulations of one such event. The wikipedia page for snow days is no help, either. So what can college age students do, other than drink themselves stupid, on a snow day?

I’ve searched and scanned the internets (all of them) and could find few more ideas to save us all from bordem.

• Find something hard and go sledding. Except the only hill in all of Muncie is by the mall and leads right into the street or the parking lot. And I’m pretty sure it’s filled with dead bodies.
• Throw snowballs at Freshmen outside of the dorms.
• Create a fort using blankets, liquor bottles, couches, and roommates.
• Get a black piece of construction paper and catch snowflakes on it. Then examine the snowflakes and see how they are different. Then alienate and ostracize the snowflakes for being different.
• Snow cream is a tasty treat. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla, a scoop of sugar and a cup of milk to a bowl of snow. Add more sugar, milk and vanilla to taste. Then smear it all over your sleeping roommates face and post the photos on facebook.

That’s all I found, short of playing football, capture the flag or hide the sausage at your local frat house. Add your own suggestions on what to do below.

And please, whatever you do, be safe. And don’t come to the movies.
