Snow Days and the Winter Fun They Bring

Snow days are always a fun treat, even for college students. Snow days in Saint Louis are seemingly unpredictable because the weather varies constantly. However, on Jan. 25, 2023, Missouri Baptist University called off classes giving their students a snow day. Snow days always bring different activities to participate in during the bitterness of winter, and it’s always fun at any age to go outside (or stay bundled up inside) and enjoy a snow day.

Faces of the Great Outdoors

With the cool fall weather in the air, many students are spending time in the great outdoors.
