Although snow days are always fun because there’s no school, they can be a bit boring and we can find ourselves mindlessly scrolling through social media. So, here is a list of some fun ideas to try on our next snow day/e-learning day:

• Start a new show or have a movie marathon

• Bake or cook something

• Make snow ice cream

• Make hot chocolate

• Facetime a friend

• Sleep

• Read a book

• Listen to music or look for new music

• Go online shopping

• Play with your pet

• At home workout

• Make a bucket list

• Build a snowman or go sledding

• Do a puzzle

• Diy something

• Reorganize a drawer or closet

January 15 was a huge day for fans of Harry Styles and One Direction. After nearly 4 years of the release of his 3rd studio album, Harry’s House, Harry Styles has announced his upcoming album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Here’s a few things that we know so far about this album:

It’s release date will be on Friday, March 6. On May 16, his tour Together, Together will include 10 shows in Amsterdam, 12 in London, 4 in Brazil, 6 in Mexico, 3 in Melbourne, and 2 in Sydney. It will conclude at the Madison Square Garden in New York between August 26 and October 31.

The tracklist on the album includes 12 tracks: “Aperture,” “American Girls,” “Ready, Steady, Go!,” “Are You Listening Yet?,” “Taste Back,” “The Waiting Game,” “Season 2 Weight Loss,” “Coming Up Roses,” “Pop,” “Dance No More,” “Paint by Numbers,” and “Carla’s Song.”

“Aperture” has already been released as a single, and many fans have compared it to other songs like Billie Eilish’s “Chihiro” from her album Hit Me Hard and Soft. This is definitely a great surprise after Styles’s 4-year hiatus.

While our oceans have been under tons waste and nasty things, there is a company called The Ocean Cleanup which is a non-profit organization that has been scaling to find new technologies to clean the waste out of our oceans. They use a u-shaped net that circulates currents in the garbage which create natural shifting hot spots of higher concentration. While using the help of their computers they have been able to predict where the hotspots could be. This contraption has caught almost over 500,000 kg of trash and plastic. The impact can detect pieces of plastic millimeters thick to large debris. While doing this in the ocean they have also tackled multiple rivers.
