Do you struggle with finding things to keep you active during the long winter months? Winter tends to feel endless and sometimes one can end up with seasonal depression because of that. Here are some activities to fill up your calendar and avoid that seasonal depression…

Take a Skiing or Snowboarding Lesson

Don’t already ski? Don’t already snowboard? Go over to Mountain Creek or Camp Gaw and sign up to take some lessons! Skiing and snowboarding are activities you can do at any age, and once you pick it up, you will have it for life! Definitely, something you should add to your bucket list if it is not already!

Go Ice-Skating

Never tried ice skating? Well, that’s absolutely no problem because one can go and head on over to an ice rink at any age and try it out! Ice skating is something one can do for fun without any mastery required. There are cones available to help aid beginners through the ice rink without any struggle to keep themselves up. Go try it out!

Go on a Hike

The winter weather isn’t always nasty… there are nice days in it too! Some days can reach up to the 40s or even 50s! On those days, take advantage of the nice weather and breathe some fresh air in by going out on a hike on a local, nearby trail! 

Have a Binge Movie or Show Night

What’s better than cuddling up in a cozy blanket by a firepit and just going on a binge of your favorite shows and movies?! You can do this with friends, family or even solo! Relax, sit back, and just clear your mind. 

Have a Sleepover with Some Friends

Friday or Saturday nights are the perfect nights to have your friends come over to have a sleepover! You guys can do some baking, some talking, a facial, the possibilities are endless! It’s a fun way to bond, socialize, and keep your mind off of the depressing weather outside!

Winter may be incredibly lonesome and long. Make sure to look after both your physical and emotional wellness. Never be reluctant to talk to others, such as your school counselor, if you ever feel too secluded or alone. They are available for you and would be delighted to assist you in overcoming your seasonal depression.
