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.
