Things you do on a Snow Day

Growing up in Pennsylvania, I am no stranger to the wintery mix of snow. I've spent many days out rolling around in fluffy white snow. Many people will understand that there are certain stages to having a snow day not only throughout the day but throughout your life.

To begin we have a snow day in they eyes of elementary aged children:

-Goes to sleep the night prior either watching it snow or praying for it to snow

-Wakes up in awe that it snowed so much

-Runs downstairs to check the news and see if school is cancelled which it is

-Jumps up and down in excitement

-Asks guardian to go outside and play with the neighborhood children

-Bundles up to extreme measures due to parents concern

-Finally ready, runs outside and jumps into the snow

-Plays outside for an hour or two

-Gets cold and decides to go inside

-Gets hot chocolate to enjoy and soak up the warmth

-Ends the day with a nap

As seen in a Junior High Students eyes

-Hopes for snow day

-Is either awoken by parents or left to sleep

-Admires the snow from a far

-Ends up shoveling with their siblings/friends to gain some extra cash

-Procrastinates homework

High School Student's view

-Wakes up knowing that they're off

-Is either excited or annoyed because it could delay summer vacation at the end of the year

-Ends up procrastinating whatever they have to get done

-Forced to shovel by their parents

College Students

-Yet another chance to procrastinate or catch up

-Binge watch their favorite TV Show

-Eats all the snacks in the dorm

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.
