The Types of People You Encounter In An Emergency

There are many different types of people you will encounter in a storm or any potentially dangerous situation. They range from relaxed, to the preparers, to the dooms day. Each one is funny to encounter and all are interesting. With Hurricane Hermine hitting the south, lets look at some of these people.


1.The calm.

For these people, the impending storm does not seem to phase them. "Its just rain. We will be fine. Do not worry."


2. The worriers.

These people will know anything and everything to know about the storm even if this storm is not effecting them directly. These people just want to be very prepared but in actuality they worry themselves sick over nothing. Their mind always goes to the worst case scenario. On the bright side, when the worst does not happen, they are pleasantly surprised.

3.The preparers.

These are the ones you see at Wal-Mart the days before preparing for what seems like nuclear warfare. They are ready for any thing that happens.They will survive what is coming no matter how big or little.

4. The partiers.

These people are stocked up on tons of supplies and I do not mean food and water. They are armed with many many many games and make a fun time out of being stuck inside. They are most likely to not remember the whole ordeal.

and finally.......

5. The ones who get on the news.

These are where we get our viral videos that we love so much. These people are a special group of people and we love to watch them. News teams always seem to find the best people for this and they keep them coming.

Any one of these that you fall into,stay safe. Be prepared. Know your plan. If you do not have one, make one and discuss it. Listen and stay aware of your situation. Know your local shealters and go when needed. Do not be dumb. Better to play safe than be sorry.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
