Snowstorms are a great time to hunker down with a cup of hot cocoa, a blanket, and some good movies or books. It can be liberating to do nothing for a while, but cabin fever and boredom can surely set in. Thankfully, as Emerson students, we are highly creative individuals who know how to keep ourselves entertained when weather forces the College to close its doors.
Here are 13 things we did while Emerson was closed during the blizzard of 2015:
1. “I ran through the empty streets of Boston!” – Ashlyn Lillibridge, ’16
2. “I did live snapchat updates every hour of Snowmaggeddon for my friends in California. My snapchat story is 330 seconds long but it’s totally worth it.” – Kenzy Peach, ‘18
3. “I watched the movie Juno. It’s only appropriate!” – Erin Kayata, ’16. (The blizzard was nicknamed “Winter Storm Juno” by The Weather Channel.)
4. “We watched Friends on Netflix and ate from an epic cheese board.” – Rose Fieschko '13 and Lanna Tokuhiro, ‘13
5. “I baked cookies in Colonial!” – Cassidy Hopkins, ’16
6. “I baked chocolate cookies and measured the snow!” – Lauren Feeney '15
