Tatum, of Goldsboro, N.C., looks mildly disappointed after she misses the hole for the seventh time at All-Stars Family Fun Center on the first day of spring. (Taken as a feature picture for my photojournalism class)
I love spring; the colors, the temperatures, the smells (except for the Bradford pears), the stormy skies, and the Cadbury mini eggs. But, I LOATHE the pollen...just sayin'. The pollen is at its highest density in North Carolina since 2003. With 90-degree temperatures in April and a think yellow haze in the atmosphere, I feel like I live in Los Angeles. Tatum's face is how I feel about the pollen right now. Thankfully I have Flonase, Singular & Claritin on my side!
Classes are over and final exams loom over every students head. The good thing about fall semester exams means there are always fun Christmas-y activities involving free food and relaxation during this stressful period. Today, free gingerbread house building. Tomorrow, free Bojangles, Cookout, massages, and late night breakfast. Despite all my efforts to create a beautiful gingerbread house (really made with graham crackers), the strong wind gusts of our 70 degree day and my heavy roof led to the destruction of this sugary fantasy home. It's OK though, because Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is on ABC Family and my procrastination efforts could not be more exemplary.
