Winter weather is not for everyone, and even seasoned Yoopers get tired of the cold and wind. On the coldest days, it’s sometimes impossible to do anything outside while staying safe. Whether you’re a cozy homebody or simply need a break from the hills, here are some fun ideas for activities to do indoors.
Find some way to fuel your energy into something creative. If you don’t already have an indoor hobby, start a new one. From crochet to cooking, there are endless possibilities of things you can do. Learn how to embroider and stitch your friend’s favorite character onto a shirt for them. Buy or print a paint-by-number poster and hang it on your wall. Start a bucket list, and make it into a bingo card for an added challenge. For some added exercise, follow along with a yoga video on YouTube or start a new workout routine. No equipment is required, or step it up by using items around the house as weights.
If you have friends over, host a movie night and make homemade popcorn or appetizers. Create a pillow fort, and watch movies on your laptop for added ambiance. Compete against each other in a new card game, or find a website to play pictionary. Create personal pizzas and make each other custom mocktails.
For the homebodies, there are plenty of options to stay cozy without getting bored. Download a new video game and invite your friends. Find a yummy mug cake recipe online and top it with ice cream. Dust off that new book you’ve been wanting to read, or even write your own. If you’re lamenting the weather, plan a trip to visit somewhere warm. Find a knock-off recipe of your favorite dish from a restaurant.
Snowstorms can be discouraging for you winter sports lovers. However, it’s important to stay inside during these below-zero temperatures. There are endless possibilities of things you can do to stay busy. When in doubt, start preparing for those upcoming exams. It’s never too early to start studying!
