How did you spend your “snow” day? Classes moved online for the inclement weather brought in by Winter Storm Fern, which has been causing historic low temperatures, heavy snow, and ice across the south, southeast and northeast. 

University of Tennessee students spent their virtual snow day in different ways, including placing focus on rest, academics and quality time with friends.

“I am actually reading the Declaration of Independence right now for one of my classes … so it’s been fun,” Ryan Day, a junior, said. “It’s really hard to understand, but it’s important to understand.”

“We tried to go to the TREC, but it was super busy, so we walked on the indoor track up there, and now we’re at the library studying,” Kate Parrish, a freshman, said. “She’s helping me with my Spanish work.”

“Tonight we have chapter, so we’re gonna hang out and do that all together,” Audrey Hill, a freshman, said. “It’s on Zoom.”

“We’ve all been doing homework and laying in bed all day,” Ella Slavis, a freshman, said. “All my classes were canceled, so I didn’t actually have anything to do except homework.”

“Maybe we’ll do a movie night (tonight), just hanging out with each other,” Sophia Gorman, a freshman, said. “Really prioritizing self care (today).”

“Today, I’ve just been hanging out with my friends, studying and playing pool,” Nick Senkus, a freshman, said. “Not sure what I’m doing tonight, maybe get food.”

“I had some classes on Zoom and then just did my homework,” Carly Orne, a freshman, said.

“Yeah, I wish school had gotten fully canceled. I’d be fine doing just asynchronous work, but I do not like zoom,” Grace Burke, a freshman, said.

The University announced campus will be closed and class moved online again tomorrow, Jan. 27.
