AKA: Surviving Winter without Wireless
Connections
By: Emma B.
Tip 1: Cocoa and Magazines
When
you’re on snow days, not doing homework, and you just want to cuddle up near
the fireplace and read magazines, well do it. The fireplace is not only
something to warm you up but it’s also something to get you closer to the
family. My favorite part of the last couple winters is cuddling up with my
family around the fireplace and just talking. This is cool because it gave our
family a lot of opportunities to work out things as a family. Sometimes I’d
just sit alone by the fire place and warm up, reading or writing. However I do
realize not everyone always wants to read or write, so in that case if you like
magazines, the fireplace can still be enjoyable. What’s another thing people
associate with winter, hot chocolate? The hot cocoa is always something I drink
and you’ve probably done it too. My ultimate tip is to brew up some cocoa,
while you’re doing that pick up some literature. Once that’s done, pull the
cocoa off the fire and place it on a coaster near the fireplace. Then just sit
down and read. It’s a very calm thing to do and works with a girl of any crowd.
Tip 2: The Snow Trackers
When wireless connections are down it’s
clearly snowing a ton. The snow will most likely be falling fast and in intense
amounts. My second tip connects to this, watch the snow! Now keep in mind I
realize it doesn’t sound very exciting but nature can do things to you. Nature
is a very powerful thing, without basic technology nature could wipe out most
human beings. Watching the snow can be very entertaining, especially if you
have a respect for nature. Plus you can also play in the snow once the storm
has passed over. The snow will most likely be packed, meaning you can at least
make snow-angels. This is particularly fun because snow has always been
considered rare and playing in it is a fun opportunity.
Tip 3: Cooks and Crafts
The
third tip I have for surviving winter snow-days without wireless connections is
to bake or do crafts. Now you’re probably thinking, well wait parents won’t be
able to go to the store if you’re snowed in. Well most parents will buy
supplies and food a few days before the storm because of weather pre-dictions,
if you can ask your parents to pick up muffin mix or extra icing. While you’re
snowed in you can start up the event and have something tasty to snack on while
you’re done. Also even if you’re not an artist you can doodle random things
into fun comic strips while you’re waiting on food to bake properly. This is
fun and you’re being expressive at the same time. Plus at the end you get food.
In Conclusion:
In conclusion, not all hope is lost if the
power were to go out in a winter storm. With these tips and more available
you’ll probably have more fun in the darkened, candle filled house, and then
you would in a normal day. If you remember that and the fact that the storm
won’t last forever, minus the homework a snow day can become a fun day.
