My thoughts

In my third year of college at the University of New Hampshire I'd like to think I've started to learn a few things about life and how to live it.  Though I have plenty more to learn, I'm going to share my thoughts on issues, topics and current events in our ever changing world.  It's now the third week of the second semester and winter has made it's way into February.  One thing I have been astonished with, I'm sure many as well have too, is how much snow we've received here in New England.  It seems as if every week we're getting 6 or more inches of snow, seemingly to never end.  Now when the weather report tells me more of the white stuff is coming, all I can think of is global warming.  Now more than ever, our seasons have been at their extremes.  Last summer in New Hampshire, it barely rained, while the summer of 2009 it rained 28 of 30 days in June.  As well as inconsistent seasons, natural disasters have been happening at an alarming rate.  In the past years for example: Hurricane Katrina, earthquakes in Haiti and Chili seem to as clear signs that our world is changing at an alarming and destructive way.  I'm not saying this snow is the be all end all for our society, however I believe it is just another clear indication of the effects of humans impact on the world.  Although for now we as humans must be do what we can to helping reduce our negative impact upon the world.  But for now, those who enjoy the snow like myself can take in the rare treat for New England residents through winter sports and activities.  Though it may be cold, make the best of it.
