Weather Warning
Shannon Bay Gregory

Sometimes you meet someone and you can just tell.

You're not exactly sure what you can tell,

at the time,

but you know there's something.

You know there's something different about

this person.

You know this person is going to mean something to you.

Something.

They show up like a rainstorm.

Coming into your life unexpectedly,

and the effects may vary.

They could be like a rainstorm in a desert,

or one in a flood zone.

Maybe they'll save you.

Provide you with the water you need

before you parish from the heat, the thirst, and the blazing sun.

Or maybe they'll hurt you.

Show up where the rain never stops,

and keep it coming.

Break down houses,

cause rising waters,

and you'll drown.

Regardless, they're a rainstorm,

and you can tell from that first glance.

Call it love at first sight, a click, fate, maybe even an accident.

Or call it a weather warning.

Take as much caution as you feel needed.

Every corner of this Earth, has rain

every once in a while.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
