How To Stay Busy This Winter

Megan Downer March 11, 2015
Board Games

This winter has been very challenging so far in many ways. The snow overtaking the area has been quite frustrating. At first, the snow seemed to have limited most activities but we have since overcome the record-breaking snow. With all that has been happening a lot of people are just not sure what to do with their winter. For those who are dazed and confused about your activities lately, look no further than here!

-Skyzone

Invite your friends to come with you to a place that will make you jump for joy. Skyzone is not far away, its close by in Everett. It’s a great place for parties, group events, and other activities and programs. Pricing varies based on the period of time you would like to be able to explore their exciting world of trampolines.

-Practice your hobbies

Everyone has some kind of hidden talent that they like a lot. On those terribly cold and blizzard conditioned days, stay inside and practice this hobby. Whether it is an artistic ability, or creative writing, or anything else imaginable, it is surely something that should be cared for and explored, especially if it is something you enjoy tremendously.  

-Plan a sleepover with your friends

We all need our friend time and what better time to stay in and chat about the newest gossip than in now. So grab your pillow and overnight bag and get the group together.

-Play board gamesBoard Games

Everyone owns a million board games and then some. They tend to just sit in either or closet or on a shelf never being used. Pull out your old board games and have a good time with family and friends.

-Go on a baking spree

Baked goods such as cookies, muffins, and brownies are a big hit with everyone. There are an amazing amount of unique recipes to try out. This activity is fun with friends and family.

-Movie MarathonMovies

Fill up that empty day with a movie marathon. Grab a bowl of popcorn and a fluffy blanket, then plop down in front of the screen and watch whatever movies make you happy.

-Sledding

You are never too old to go sledding. Gather a bunch of friends and your families, make sure you let the littler kids come along too and find the nearest hills that are safe to go sledding down.

-Skiing

Skiing is an interesting and fun activity to try. The Blue Hills Ski Area in Canton, about 20 miles from downtown Boston, is a popular place to experience the well know joy of skiing.

-Ice skate

Never been ice skating? Now is the perfect time to try. Don’t worry about falling, it is not as bad as it seems. Those who have gone ice skating know how fun it can be.

-Learn to Dance

You need to burn off those extra winter calories somehow. Learning to dance will be a fun way to shake off that extra weight.

-Visit A Museum

Museums can be quite fun. They have interesting sights to see and you can learn a lot from attending them.

-Read a Novel subject-clipart-books-clip-art-3

Spend some extra time indulging in a fantastic novel. We all have that one book we’ve been wanting to read for a long time now. Take the time to really enjoy the magic of words on paper.

 

About the Author

Megan Downer

Contributor

Senior Megan Downer has been in the Blue and Gold since her freshman year and is now the newspaper’s Editor-In-Chief. Before coming to Malden High, she went to Ferryway for middle school. When Megan has any free time she likes to motivate herself to either read or write. Writing for her is an “outlet for raw emotions” which is what motivates her to pick up some paper and a pen and let the words flow. Megan’s other hobbies include hiking and being outside. She also enjoys watching shows such as Pretty Little Liars and One Tree Hill. She is part of Malden High’s varsity field hockey team as lucky number 7. If she could only eat one meal for the rest of her life it would “probably [be] some good chicken, mac and cheese and a biscuit.” and if she had to wear only one color for the rest of her life, she would choose maroon or black because it “goes with everything.” After high school, her goals are to finish college, become a successful writer and to go into a career that helps others.
