Photojournalism: When It Snows In The South, Everyone Goes Buck Wild

Photojournalism: When It Snows In The South, Everyone Goes Buck Wild
Thea Genet

In case you don't already know, when it snows in Georgia, or anywhere else in the South for that matter, it is a really big deal. Most kids that live here have either never seen snow fall and if they have it's only a few centimeters. So when it is forecasted to snow, everyone freaks out. Atlanta shuts down, groceries stores run out of bread, Chick-fil-a closes and most importantly, schools close. So on December 8, 2017, it snowed. Fulton County decided to wait for all of the surrounding districts to close because they had to live up to their legacy set in 2014 during snowpocalypse when Atlanta was mocked by the entire country for a mere two inches of snow, and students and teachers were forced to sleep in the schools. This time, they dismissed students starting at 11:48 a.m. instead of 2:30 p.m. Immediately after dismissal, I drove to pick up my brother and then went to play in the winter wonderland!

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
