      So help me god, if I see someone just standing around at a dage acting like they're not having any fun at all, I will run inside, print out an application for Penn State, and force you to fill it out write in front of me. Have fun, that's what a dage is for, don't be a buzzkill.

      Dages in general just isn't[sic] appealing, but going out in the middle of the afternoon in the snow is what I would least like to do on my day off. If I get a day off from school, I'm going to be using it to catch up on sleep and my Netflix shows.
