Don’t get me wrong, I am totally a summer kind of girl but within the past month we have had two pretty decent snow days. The first was not only the first “real” (more than a few flurries & actually sticking to the ground) snow but also my first snow as a student at Meredith. I was a little bummed about being away from my family at first but it turned out great. It started out with an impromptu Waffle House trip then my roommate and I ventured out in the snow with tupperware totes, clothes baskets & curtain rods as sleds. Let’s just say the tupperware tote is no longer useful in our dorm. 🙂 After some of our friends in our small group saw our videos from earlier sledding attempts, we all bundled up once more for some sledding fun. This time with trash bags. Yes, we borrowed trash bags from the kitchen in our dorm. Never would I have thought that tying a trash bag to your bottom would be so much fun. I have tons of memories and bruises to prove it! It was honestly one of the best nights I have had so far at Meredith. The next day classes were canceled so we spent the morning sledding & the afternoon catching up on homework and watching movies!

The second snow day was kind of a scare at first. When I got a call from my Mom telling me that there was a possibility I would lose power, I may have had a mini panic attack. Thankfully I have a very loving Daddy who rescued me on his way home from work so I could wait out the blizzard with the fam. After the worry of getting stuck in a gridlock and the horrendous thought of having to walk home, we made it. A drive that normally takes around 25 min – depending on the idiotic drivers and whether or not you make it through the Western Blvd light in one cycle – took 2 hours to accomplish. Even though it took forever for a decision to be made, Meredith canceled class on Thursday and Friday allowing me to spend a 5 day weekend at home complete with power, eating homemade chili and some sledding! 

Even though I would love another reason for my professors to postpone exams and assignment due dates, this girl is beyond ready for warmer weather. I’m thankful for this years wintery NC weather and had SNOW much fun with both my Meredith girls and my wonderful family during our snow days!
