With classes canceling on campus for the first time since 2014, here’s how some students are choosing to spend their Wednesday:

“I think we all are in the same boat, just chilling in our rooms and try to not freeze, go to the closest dining hall for food,”

— Garret Taylor, sophomore in mechanical engineering

“As a graduate student, I will work on Wednesday, I may even go to [my] lab, depending on the buses being in service then,”

— Sushma Ambekar, ph.D student in biomedical sciences

“For me, it gives me a break since I teach and my class for Wednesday is canceled, so it is a day for me to catch on grading,”

— Avani Khadilkar, ph.D student program BCB Department- EEOB

“I’m going to sleep in and try to catch up on some homework, just cause I’m always stress on homework,”

— Erin Hogan, sophomore in pre-graphic design

“Just catch up on homework, [and] I can’t wait to sleep in,”

— Carissa Albers, freshman in Spanish

“I was thinking of doing hot cocoa and [making] banana bread, just to chill out and enjoy that we can stay up and sleep late,”

— Richard Gardner, senior in kinesiology and health

“Im in DubH cabinet and we made a decision to cancel all practices on Wednesday night — all six of them,”

— Anne Miller, senior in accounting
