Well, my friends, it has been a while. I haven't posted anything since winter break started and life has been crazy. There's been death, pneumonia, bronchitis, floors and bathrooms being torn up in my house, I'm pretty sure there was a bear at one point, and a plethora of other things, but that's in the past now. It is time to move on toward the future.

Since it has been so long I figure this article will be about a myriad of things that have thoughts about since we last spoke.

1. This week we got 2 different seasons in 2 days

For anyone on the east coast you know that mother nature just went through her biggest mood swing ever (probably menopause) and it messed with all of us. The dudes playing can-jam and getting hammered on Wednesday stated on Thursday that the snow was a "total bummer". All the girls that thought 57 degrees meant shorts and a tank-top "couldn't even" when they saw the snow on Thursday morning, ultimately the sign that it is still in fact winter. I took the snow day to do a copious amount of homework, watched Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse (which was a quality cinematic adventure), and took a big nap, overall a successful day. It was nice to have the first snow day of the year, even though I don't have class on Thursday's, but anyway it was lit.

2. There is a good chance I will drown in school-work this semester

Holy canoli I've got a lot of stuff to do. I'm only taking 12 credits this semester, but it feels more like 18. Every other day I have about 75 pages of reading, a quiz, a paper, a blog post due, and it is not easy. I was taught to swim by my mother when I was about 2 years old (that's right I learned to swim earlier than you), but I don't think that 19 years of knowing how to swim will save me from drowning this semester. But don't worry, I'll never let go, Jack.

3. Valentine's Day is stupid

Now before you have a heart-attack, hear me out. I think that Valentine's Dayy is stupid for several reasons. One reason is that it's a holiday made up by Hallmark so that they could sell more stuff. Another reason is that you shouldn't need a day on the calendar to show your loved ones how much you care for them. Just because it's February 14th doesn't mean it's the only day you should bring your girlfriend flowers, bromigo. Love your significant other the same way everyday, don't wait for the calendar to tell you to.

4. Firefly 2017

I've never been to a music festival in my life (and it makes me sad), but I think this summer all of that will change. Firefly Music Festival is going to be 100% crazy this year and I wanna go really bad. I recommend all of you check the lineup because there is bound to be someone you know on that list. It's a great chance to spend some quality time with your friends camping out, having fun, and enjoying great music.

Well I hope you all have enjoyed this article (if you didn't your loss). It was all over the place, but I promise they will get better again soon. But until then I hope you all have a good day, I'm always here if anyone needs someone to talk to.

Yours Truly,
