Hurricane Irma left us with more than just excess flooding and destruction. For us Seminoles, we received a "hurrication." This nasty storm that was predicted to tear up Tallahassee left us hardly touched. After the storm disappeared after just a brief moment of intense rain, we were left with a full week off of school to do as we pleased.
Some students decided to go back to their hometowns and visit their families. Others decided to go on vacation or just relaxed here in town. I can speak for all of us when I say that this hurricane break hurt me more than it helped me. Post-Irma life is filled with being behind in my classes and realizing over and over again just how unorganized and behind I truly am.
