Spring Break

The beaches of South Padre were beautiful. Tropic waves rolling up onto the white sand, fruity umbrella drinks, and the tropical breeze - just pure bliss.

Just kidding! I stayed in Madison for spring break because I had to work like an adult. Before you go any further, you should know that this post is going to be salty, sprinkled with rage, and drizzled in jealousy.

Can I ask you something? Good. How can all these college kids with NO jobs afford to take exotic spring break vacations? I have a hard time believing that thousands upon thousands of parents pay for their college student to get drunk on a beach over spring break.

I have a good job and can barely afford the gas to and from work. I didn't even have the time to travel home to Aberdeen, and for those of you wondering, that only 3 hours from here.

Listen, if you want to go get drunk in Mexico over spring break, by all means, do it! But pay for it yourself with the money you earned from your job.

Analysis of an Archive

Protest or revolutionary literature is the culmination of social, political, intellectual and economical information that results in the evocation of emotion and inspires change. The University of Iowa’s Digital Library categorizes the diaries and letters written to and from soldiers during World War II. Although the Nazi Germany attacked Poland in 1939 and began the second world war, the United States did not enter World War II until December 8, 1941.

The collection of diaries and letters are intended to be used mainly for academic purposes.
The letters and diaries written at this time reveal the thoughts and emotions that often were not expressed publically for fear of societal rejection. Although the war ended nearly 74 years ago, the archive is relevant to modern political controversies. However, today we communicate through forms such as texting, email, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.
