Jerks.

Anyways, snow days are pretty bomb. No class? No responsibility? Lots of snow on the ground? Sweeeet.

You may see it as just another day to spend curled up on the futon with your TV and a bag of Smart Pop Kettle Korn, but I am here to tell you that it is time to throw on the snow pants (or layer 3 pairs of sweats) and get outside. Don’t treat today just like any other day off of class (by drinking Gatorade and recapping with your girls); there is much fun to be had on a college campus in the snow.

(Note: CollegeCandy does not support or condone any of the following acts. They are just things we have…heard about.)

Lunch Tray Sledding: You are gonna have to be a bit sneaky about this one, but grab a backpack and head to the caf. Grab a few lunch trays, take em back to your room and grease those suckers up with a little Pam/cooking spray. Then head out to the nearest “slope” (or some sort of hilly area on campus) and let loose. Sledding never gets old…especially when there is the thrill of breaking rules involved.

Dorm Wars Snowball Fight: One night, while studying in my room, the fire alarm in my building went off. I grabbed my slippers and jacket and headed out into the frigid Ann Arbor night, roommate in tow. The moment we stepped outside, my roommate was pelted in the forehead with a snowball. I was laughing so hard I barely noticed the war that then broke out around me. It seems the dorm across the street had collaborated to get us outside so they could attack us. It was illegal, it was cold…but it was hilariously fun.

Winter Beerlympics: Grab all your friends together, form country teams and enjoy a day of winter sports. Flip cup, an ice luge, a snow angel competition, and some form of icy beer pong will make for some great competition…and a little warming from the inside out.

Naughty Snowmen: I’m sure a bunch of creative college girls can figure out how to take the innocent snowman and turn him into something a bit more…risque. If you do, send me the pics. I’d be interested to see what that looks like!

Did you know the Olympics start tonight?

I can’t imagine how you would have any idea. It’s not like there has been a billion commercials/news stories/a total media frenzy surrounding the event.

I guess I am sorta excited; lord knows the Summer games are far more exciting than the random ice events (bobsledding? curling?) of the Winter Olympics. I love watching the gymnastics and diving – those people are amazing. Oh, and of course swimming is super exciting, what with Michael Phelps – a fellow Wolverine – dominating the pool.

But the rest is just sorta boring. Why would I care if the U.S. had the best fencers? And who really feels pride in knowing their country can row the fastest? What do the Olympics have to offer that is worth getting out of the pool early to watch?

How about hot guys?

I know, I know; the Olympics are all about strength, agility and lots of hard work. They are about bringing the world together in a little “friendly” competition. They are about finding the world’s best athletes and celebrating them. But, come on, what’s wrong with watching for a little eye candy?

So, I scoured the internet to find the hottest US athletes. Something that I, as an American Woman, can be proud of. If you couldn’t think of a reason to watch the games, I found you 12. Grab some snacks and settle in; you are not gonna want to miss a thing.

Brad Vering

Sport: Wrestling

This wrestler is a little shorter than my taste, but he looks damn good in that spandex jumpsuit (yes, even with the blood) and I can only imagine what kind of moves he can bring to the bedroom. Pin me, Vering.

Dave Boudia

Sport: Diving

He’s a baby – only 19 – but how cute is that smile? And that itty bitty Speddo? And those muscles? Diving is my favorite summer Olympic sport and Boudia just makes me more excited to watch.

David Oliver

Sport: Track and Field

Not only is this fine specimen of American beef one sexy dude, but he is even hot when he’s sweaty! (No pun intended.) And the guy is fast. I’m just looking forward to seeing him jump hurdles in those little running shorts. Rar.

Deron Williams

Sport: Basketball

He plays professional basketball for the Utah Jazz. He’s tall, successful and will be representing the USofA. That’s hot.

Darold Williamson

Sport: Track and Field

There is nothing sexier than ambition …. paired with arms like that. Run, Darold, run.

Jason Rogers

Sport: Fencing

It is a shame that helmets are required during Fencing. How can you expect me to watch if I can’t see that face?!

Demetrius Andrade

Sport: Boxing

Tall, lean and muscley. I normally don’t condone men beating each other up, but I think I can make an exception for this guy. Do you think he can wear a Speedo, too?

Nathan Adrian

Sport: Swimming

He may not be as well-known as Phelps, but he definitely takes the Gold in the looks competition.

Nicholas Symmonds

Sport: Track and Field

Midwestern charm mixed with some powerful legs (second fastest 800 meter on American Soil…ever) makes Symmonds one hot athlete to watch this year.

Robby Ginepri

Sport: Tennis

Those arms. That 5 o’clock shadow. Man, I love tennis.

Steven Lopez

Sport: Taekwondo

Not only does Lopez look goooood and know how to kick some ass, but he also loves Chocolate Molten Lava Cake. Um, perfection? Yes

Scott Parsons

Sport: Kayaking

I have never been one for boating (unless it’s a Yacht), but that all changed when Parsons got in the game. What I wouldn’t give to be that paddle right about now….

Which Olympian makes you sweat?
