Spring Break Or Entrapment By One Of The Biggest Snow Storms?
The Weather Dude

Spring break brings much joy to many college students. Everyone looks for that special week off to do whatever it is that they please. However, this year would be completely different for me. I live in NEPA and for the first time in many years, we had a big winter storm. Even though I do not mind snow, this storm brought on more than I could handle, and of course it had to be on spring break. I did not have many plans for this spring break, however, I did have one major one. That would be to relax and enjoy the week I had off. I had planned to get important errands done that needed to be done. I also wanted to get out of the house for a few days. Maybe visit some friends who also were on spring break. I Just wanted some time to destress and regroup. The first day of spring break was great. I was able to get out of the house and do the things I wanted to do. That same night we had some news warnings about the snow storm we were about to have. I did not believe that we would be getting as much snow as they said. I mean after all; the weathermen aren’t always correct. So, as any normal person my age, I just brushed it off. When I awoke the next morning, I peeked out the window. I could not believe my eyes. My car was buried in a huge pile of snow, and the road could not be seen. So, I decided to throw on my snow gear and trudge through the thick snow to begin the clean-up process. After hours of shoveling and looking at what I had accomplished. It seemed like I didn’t even make a dent. I decided that I needed a break and went inside. It began to snow again. Everything I just shoveled had been covered yet again by this crippling snow. I had no energy to go back outside, and so I let it go until the next morning. I felt so upset that night. More stressed than anything. Blizzards are never fun. I for sure was not having fun. In fact, it seemed like I was trapped, stuck in a world of boredom and fatigue. The following morning, I geared up yet again to trudge through the snow. Knowing that I needed to get the cars out and the side walk cleared, I started shoveling. After about forty-five minutes later a guy came through with a plow. My family and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind helping us. He agreed and started clearing some of the snow. When he was finished, there was still a lot of work to be done. My friend called me to ask how things were going, but unfortunately, we still had a lot of work to do. My friend decided to come down and help us out. I was so thankful for that. After we finished clearing everything out, I went inside. That is where I spent the rest of the night. I felt trapped and fatigued all over again. Now spring break is almost over, I am still stressed, and this weather does not seem to stop. So, I am trying to figure out if this is a spring break or an entrapment from this blizzard we are experiencing.

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.
