.........Snow

Everyone at Georgia State the other day was very busy going to class, eating around, and laying around their dorms. When all of a sudden all the harsh when we had and cold weather finally gave us something wondeful. It snowed and hard it seemed as thou the whole campus came to a halt. And phones went off along with opening and closing of doors and elevators, as this epic event spread liike wild fire. And every 18, 19, and 20 year old was outside staring uop into the sky in pure amazment and joy. It's as if you could see their child like memories play right before their eyes. As they just walked around ,stuck their tounges to catch snow flakes, and continued to call more friends and family to inform them of this moment. Its just because everyone loves snow and if not love they have some strong emotion or feeling concerning it. And when they are around it sometimes they can't help it and just let themselves revert back to those good times and funny memories of the snow and what it brings. I saw the very best and human part of GSU, because maybe its just me but in my day to day run ins with strangers at GSU. Have been as if I was invisible as if they wouldn't dream or even bring themselves to touch me. But on that afternoon with the snow there were hugs and random conversations along with just maybe a bit of child hood innocent in the snow. People were sliding down the hill on trash can lids, pizza bixes, cookie sheets, trash bags and whatever they could get their hands on. There were snow ball fights , writing i the snow, snow angels, and people built mini snowman. And on that coldest day of the week GSU didn't seem that cold, as me and my snowman took pictures and watched as the snow continued to fall. Covering the harsh skyliness and road signs of Atlanta and momentarly slowing the city down. Bringing them to a daydream state as they wait for traffic to led up and drif back to their fun times in snow. You know between the curses of stupid drivers nad why they hadn't gone home sooner.
