This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

Free Cone Day should really be declared a national holiday. Is there a better way to celebrate winter’s long awaited departure then by eating delicious Ben & Jerry’s ice cream? The answer is no. Ice cream means warm weather, flip flops and trips to the beach.

On April 14th (that’s TOMORROW) head on over to your local Ben & Jerry’s between noon and 8 pm to receive a free cone, no strings attached. The only thing you need to do is show up.

Here are some helpful hints to make your day a tasty success:

First and foremost, pick out your flavor ahead of time! Ben & Jerry’s three most popular flavors include:

1. Cherry Garcia

2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

3. Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Once you decide on your favorite flavor, you’ll need to plan out where to get the ice cream. For all of you Bostonians, check out the list of nearby shops below. They are all easily accessible by the T, or if you want to avoid delays and get your ice cream ASAP you can always take an Uber. The MBTA will not stand in the way of free ice cream.

While growing up in the kitchen alongside her mom, Dorothy learned how to twist a pretzel perfectly before she even learned how to tie her shoes. She absolutely loves dark chocolate, especially Cadbury's Bournville bar. And she often enjoys long walks down the Trader Joe's frozen aisle looking at the different cookies and chocolates.
