Throughout the winter season, I've realized how much hype there has been about snowstorms. Yes, the Philadelphia area did have almost two feet of snow, but sometimes the hype gets annoying! As the weather channels announce a winter storm watch, social media is clogged with tweets and Facebook statuses about the snow. I admit, I join in the "excitement"...Well, I hate snow, so I'm a negative Nancy when there's a snowstorm on the way. I've had enough of the winter blues, so please stop crossing your fingers for snow!
Anyways, I feel that students create the most hype of everyone. This makes sense because who wouldn't want a snow day??? Every other Facebook status I've read today was about the snow storm that's coming towards this region. For example, "snow snow snow snow snow *", "wants it to snow. A lot", and "For once I actually hope it snowssss...."
With all the hype, everyone will begin to believe it will snow, which will lead to partying, which will lead to sleeping through class if there is still class! It's interesting to examine how social media can affect the outcome of certain situations and how much it affects the thoughts of people. It looks like it might actually snow in Northeast PA this time though! And yes, I'm using this blog, a social media outlet, to add to all the hype!
Nice post! And clever. Love the irony of it. I'll admit. I keep looking out the window today, waiting for it to start, but yet, hoping it doesn't spoil plans for a Friday afternoon wedding I am supposed to attend. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteYes and I noticed you were allll over the social networks! Gotta love when everyone's snowed in they feel the need to share every waking moment mentioning snow and what they're doing during it!
ReplyDeletei saw your status about the snow and everyones else too. I just want summer to come but at the same time a snow day is also perfect for the stressful weeks of school. Why cant we have a mix of both? Like a warm snow day with lots of sun?! That would be a first haha
