The start of the semester has given our student body a couple of extra days to enjoy ourselves.

Starting the spring semester students around campus took these days for leisure to their advantage. There are surplus ways to spend a snow day on and off campus. The student body was interviewed and they answered with a couple of suggestions for the best way you to spend a snow day.

Senior Eric Leitch commented on how he would spend his snow day, stating “the snow days are a great opportunity if you ski or snowboard. If you don't, it’s easy to find a hill at PSU and go sledding with your friends. That’s what I did this past snow day in the backyard at my friends house. After that on snow days we finish the day out at the Panther Pub or consuming adult beverages in the snow with other friends.”

If you’re not much of an outdoors person Leitch advises “If you don’t want to catch up on homework, binge watch Netflix’s ‘Shameless’.”

Freshmen Katie Brown and Georgia Drew said their favorite snow day activity, after skating, is staying in watching movies.

“We like making big meals and desserts with friends,” they said. As freshman, they experienced Fox Park pond skating for the first time this winter and enjoyed it for a quick game of pick-up hockey while the snow fell in the passing afternoon.

Junior Jonathan Young said he spends most of his snow days like any other day, stating “I like to workout for a couple of hours and then get some of my homework done and out of the way.”

When asked how he thought others should spend their snow days he concluded, “Honestly, I think people should at least get some homework done and relax. Then they can watch Netflix and enjoy the rest of their day off.”
