9 Things To Know About Hurricane Matthew

It's all fun and games until the storm hits land.

9 Things To Know About Hurricane Matthew
FOX News

Hurricane Matthew has hit Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas, and it is heading straight for the United States. We have seen on the news the devastating damage that Matthew had on Haiti, and all that we can do is wait for it to come to Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. It’s a serious time and waiting for the storm to pass is making everyone who lives in dangerous areas pretty anxious. So what do we do when we are waiting for floods, power outages, and other fun hurricane stuff? We laugh at memes on the Internet.

1. Its been unseasonably warm down south, all we wanted was a nice fall breeze and sweater weather. Not a category 5 Hurricane. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature.

2. Why not make up a conspiracy theory, because when America doesn't like something, we turn it into a elaborate explanation of secrets. So really, Harambe is behind Hurricane Matthew.

3. Here’s another conspiracy theory to get you thinking. It all makes sense, do you know how crowded Costco was before their shelves were emptied?

4. Hurricanes want to ride Space Mountain too, and now that Florida and 3 other East Coast states are under a state of emergency, Disney World is closed down. Maybe next time, Matthew.

5. In the places where Matthew is going to hit, people are trying to get last minutes supplies before they are stuck inside. Thankfully, some places haven't boarded up their windows and closed yet.

6. Evacuating is so much effort, and like my life’s not going so amazing anyway. Maybe if I was rich and kept my stacks of money under my mattress I would think about it, but for now I’m good at home.

7. Those people who are not taking any chances and have decided to go to shelters inland are probably super mad. How annoyed would you be if this happened to you?

8. Fun fact, Matthew brought along his friend Nicole to mess stuff up. So when Hurricane Matthew is gone, Tropical Storm Nicole will be right behind him.

9. I mean, when they cancel schools and are expecting lots of damage to campuses, us students are actually really thankful to be getting a break. We are kind of glad to see Matthew, it’s okay to admit it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
