Most of Boston College has been shut down Tuesday due to a blizzard predicted to drop a total of 1-3 feet of snow on the Greater Boston area. While many students will choose to stay in bed and watch Netflix all day (which isn’t actually a bad idea), The Heights’ editorial board will be spending its day out of class in the following ways:
