Much of my family lives in Boston. My 22-year-old cousin is out building snowmen with her friends and posting silly pictures of themselves in snow gear on facebook. I'm sure they have a drink or two on the weekends, but they're out socializing and making the best of it. Even if making the best of it involves taking pictures of the crazy snowbanks all over campus-- and tagging me to say Boston is worse than the Upper Midwest right now (which is where I live). I bet there are fun things to do on your college campus as well, if you were interested in getting out of your dorm and doing something with the other students--- perhaps that very cold friend of yours!
