Well folks Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and we all know what that means…winter will thus extend 6 weeks longer than usual. So I guess it’s time for me to brainstorm some fun cold weather activities to keep myself preoccupied from the strong desire I have to soak up the sun and simply enjoy some warmth. Here’s what I came up with and if anyone has any of their own suggestions please feel free to send them my way 🙂

Settle down with a good page-turner.

Rally some of my friends and go skiing.

Ice skate on my college quad. Hey Bowdoin thanks for being so awesome and making a rink for us!

Venture to a cafe that I’ve never been to before and try a new warm drink… or stick to my favorite drink 😉

Buy some fresh flowers. Just because most plants are dead this time of year doesn’t mean that I can’t treat yourself to some flowers!

Finally, share a bottle of red wine with a friend!
