  • January 28th, 2011 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 8 PEA DURES Put an Shelby Harrell, WC Editor When a winter storm strikes in Cullowhee, many WCU students may be forced to stay cooped up in their dorms for days, unable to travel anywhere safely. With nowhere to go, or no _4-wheel-drive vehicle to get anywhere, the inevitable cabin fever blues are likely to. strike, making many dorm room bound students bored out of their minds. _ Fortunately, many stu- dents were able to beat their cabin fever during the areas last winter storm on Jan. 10 and found ways to stay entertained and enjoy the snow. Haley Jamieson, for ex- ample, went sledding out- side her apartment with her roommates. My roommates and |. went sledding at Rabbit Ridge, said Jamieson, a WCU Senior and resident of Rabbit Ridge Apart- ments. It was cold and wet but we didnt care. We stayed outside most of the day, and then went back outside to play in the snow at midnight. A full sized igloo. that was made in The Village and a smiling snowman at Reynolds dorm proved that other students on campus had fun playing in the snow as well. : Y did get a little bit of cabin fever, so | went sled- ding around Madison Resi- dence I Mall, and the march- ~ ing band practice field, said WCU junior Ryan : Wall. end to cabin fever blues in Cullowhee So there are definitely ways to beat boredom out- doors. But of course, many students want to stay warm and remain indoors show- ing that there are also fun _ ways to pass the time in the comfort of your dorm room. Jamieson, for example, found a variety of ways to keep busy. I made food a lot be- cause I got cabin fever and I watched my favorite mov- ies and my favorite shows, said Jamieson. I also made hot cocoa, of course. Ben Arant, a WCU ju- nior living in The Village suggested that. playing board games or rearranging your room would help oc- cupy your time T usually watch T.V. or movies, said Arant. But you can also play board games and card games when youre snowed in, or rearrange your room if youre into that kind of thing. But you dont always - have to be alone, and some- times having so-much free time can be relaxing. I had friends over who did not have power, and I was able to get caught up on some sleep, said Wall. The worst. thing is when you run out of food, or you cant go and see your friends, said Jamieson. But you can do just about anything to get your mind off of leaving oy house and we s not so bad; Paces uals. many students are. finding their Own ways to stay entertained through the snowstorm, wisebread. com suggests six tips that can easily liven up your snowed-in day without costing you a dime. Tip # 1- Open the Shades Extra sunshine in your dorm room can help your feel a little brighter as well. At dark, make sure you re-close all of the curtains and shades to keep the cold night air out. Tip # 2 - Get Walking Taking a small walk in the morning for 15-30 min- utes, even in the snow, can help give you a boost, give you more energy, and get you in better shape. Walk- ing in different areas each day can also help because a change of scenery might do your mind some good since you have been staring at your four walls for too long. So put on those rubber boots and get outside! : Tip # 3 - Eat Better Your diet plays a large part in your emotional well- being. You tend to lack D vitamins during the winter months when you are more likely to be out of the sun. Eating green vegetables and an overall healthy diet can help boost our energy levels and just feel better over- all, so try eating upstairs at courtyard or at Einsteins for a healthier on-campus selection. _ ae 4 han eS Tip #4 - Help Others - During the winter, it can Opinions on semester delay are as mixed as the weather Katelyn Cooper, Staff Writer The blizzard that brought the start of spring semester to a chilling halt caused some mixed feelings with students -and professors. Some people likely enjoyed having a late start to the spring semester, and some expressed how they would rather be at work or in class than snowed in. It was an awesome, un- expected Christmas gift, said Andrew Linton, a se- nior at WCU, Linton said he enjoyed the snow days and spent his time snowboarding and watching TV. Brittany Hink, a senior at WCU saw the wintery mix as a good luck sign. Tt was a good omen for - the start of the semester, Hink said. Marcelo Maia, an oe national student from Por- tugal, arrived to the United States and WCUs campus to something he felt was definitely unexpected but not completely unfortunate. Tt was cool because we got more time to get to know the other international stu- dents and the campus, said Maia. We did some sled- ding and I saw people with snowboards on campus and that was cool. However, the blizzard did have one downfall for Maia. The planned trips to Ashe- ville and Charlotte for Maia and the other International students were cancelled. The trips have not yet been re- scheduled. Some students and pro- fessors experienced some cabin fever during the snow days. To be perfectly honest, I didnot enjoy missing class. I came here from the Univer- sity of Alaska Anchorage, so lym familiar with adverse weather; it holds no novelty for me, said Dr. Kenneth Price, an English professor at WCU. I spent most of the two days shoveling my drive. I would have rather been at work, ; Liz Kozlowski, a junior at PHOTO BY JUSTIN CAUDELL. Snow delayed the start of spring 2011 semester. WCU wasnt excited about the snow or the unexpected cancelled classes. ! was kind of upset, I could have stayed home in Ohio, said Kozlowski. While WCUs opinions were as mixed as the weather, the delayed start of the spring semester brings hope to Matt Roy, a senior at WCU. T love when classes get cancelled, but I would rather - knock out this semester. Then all school will be out for the summer and the weather will be nicer, said Roy. _ Many students enjoyed sledding when it snows, be easy to get depressed: but sometimes, as bad as it - seems things are, there are others who are much worse off than we. If you are strug- gling with cabin fever and boredom, take some of your time and volunteer it to help others. If you can drive, The Community Table in downtown Sylva has many opportunities where you could lend a hand. If youre pating the warmer spring weather, (and I know many of you are) start planning now for the different ways you can take advantage of it as soon as it hits. If you are an outdoorsy person, com- pare different campgrounds where you might want to go when the weather breaks. Research what places you want to go on spring break, and plan a big vacation. Include your friends in the PHOTO RY JARRE When all else fails, slow down and think about all the wonderful things you have in your life, no matter what season it is. Chances are it will bring a smile to your face and make you feel better. Remembering all the wonderful things you al- ready have instead of focus-. ing on what you dont have might bring you more peace throughout your entire life.
