The 6 Stages of a Snow Day Everyone Experiences

The east coast has been continuously screwed by Mother Nature this winter. At first, we thought maybe she was going to go easy on us. We hardly experienced a sprinkle of snow from November-mid February. But then...she unleashed.

Halifax has been hit with over 60cm of snow just in the last two days and the city is not handling it well. Also, we don't even know if Cape Breton is still there. We can't find it. It's buried under too much snow.

If you live in Nova Scotia (or any of the other Maritime provinces, really) you know what it's like to be stuck inside for nearly 48 hours. You've probably also experienced these stages of going snow storm silly.

Stage 1: Excitement
At first, you're really excited to have the day off of work and to be able to lounge in your PJ's until 4pm. The idea of sitting on your couch and binge watching House of Cards or Orange is the New Black (for the second time) on Netflix sounds glorious. And it will be glorious, for a few hours.

Stage 2: Eat all the snacks
Snow days are a lot like Sundays - you don't really have any type of schedule or structure to your day. You have nowhere to be, nothing really you need to do and you're probably a little bored. So you eat. Everything. All the snacks. To the point where you probably have no snacks left (nothing easily prepared, anyway) and you get kind of sad. And bloated...

Stage 3: Work Anxiety
Whether you're able to work from home or not, you're never as productive during a snow day as you would be at the office, so you start to get stressed. Did I remember to send that report off? Can I access the report from my laptop? What's my email password again? Do you think people have been trying to reach me? Work anxiety will kick in, probably around 1pm, and will drive you nuts until 5:00.

Stage 4: Denial
It's 3:30 pm. It's still snowing. You can no longer see your car in your driveway and the snow banks are starting to cover your bedroom windows. All you want is to have the option of going outside. But you can't because nothing's open and the sidewalks are non-existent. You're trapped. Snowpocolypse style.

Stage 5: Shack-Wacky
You've watched every rom-com on Netflix and eaten every crumb of food in your house. You haven't seen a snowplow yet so you know you're not getting outside anytime soon. You start to get irritable and giddy. Maybe you start taking "hilarious" snapchats of your roommate (no one other than you finds them hilarious). Maybe you download four different versions of candy crush and play that for 5 hours.

Stage 6: Anger

What I Found in The Depths of the Internet

I work an office job. Luckily, that office job is in the marketing and promotions department, so I'm not constantly tied to my desk. BUT there are days that I spend, like, 6 hours in a row on my computer. Aside from poor posture, this also gives me the opportunity to search the web and waste time discovering cool things like recipes and home decor and new bands!!! Usually when I find a new thing  that I love, I annoy the crap out of my boyfriend or my iPhone group chat with details about said thing. So instead, why not plop them here? Here are 5 things that I've found while I should've been working: 1.  couchseats.com This website is kind of like Pinterest - but for music. You can totally get lost in a deep, deep hole of clicking and listening. If you're a music lover this is absolutely going to be your best friend. It features endless videos of live music from super well-known artists like Dave Grohl and Ed Sheeran, to more indie musicians like We Are Twin. You...

Ria Mae Album Review

Ria Mae is from the little-big city of Halifax, Nova Scotia and has had no problem packing venues - be it dive bars or concert halls - since her hit single, Clothes Off , hit the airwaves last year. Mae moved to Montreal in the winter in hopes of being inspired and courted by the city’s booming music scene. It looks like that’s exactly what happened as she released her self-titled album on June 3rd. While her sound is mostly pop, there are hints of alternative, hip-hop and even R&B that give her songs a sexy, Montreal-esque feel that has her fans dancing and sipping cocktails while jamming to her music. The new album features her two singles - Clothes Off and Gold - both with incredibly catchy beats and melodies. There’s so much sex appeal behind these tunes (especially Clothes, as you could’ve probably guessed) that it has probably become a regular in many club playlists. Many of the other songs on the album, though, have more of a pop feel which really showcase Mae’s voc...

15 Thoughts You Have While Apartment Hunting in Halifax

As I search for my third apartment in Halifax, I'm faced with the same thoughts I had last time I was apartment hunting. Halifax has everything - including lots of cool pads, but that doesn't mean there won't be a struggle to find the perfect one. Here are 15 thoughts you'll probably have if you've ever searched for an apartment in Halifax: How far North is too far North? Maybe we could just move to Clayton park and save money? Nah I don't want to be that far away from Argyle Street. I think I came to a party here once. Nope, that street has mice. Is it better to be close to a grocery store or close to a coffee shop? Am I cool enough to live on Agricola though? I'm not. I'm not cool enough for this street. I don't want to be in the student ghetto though. Looking on every page on Kijiji and then considering craigslist, only to realize that Kijiji is where it's at. GOD DAMMIT THERE'S NO PARKING AT ANY OF THESE APARTMENTS. M...
