Persuasive Essay: Snow Day

Improved Essays
By living in New England, you are almost guaranteed at least one snow day a year. It is just a proven fact. Last week, we celebrated a glorious snow day on campus. Even though it was not like the blizzard of 2015, it still seemed to live up to it.

It also means that it’s time for a spring break trip to Cabo, spring training games, Coachella, and more importantly, crop tops and tank tops, but Arizona weather is known for being very unpredictable during this time of the year, it could be 90 degrees and sunny one minute, and the next minute it could be 64 degrees and raining, so wearing pants is still socially acceptable.

Army green and shades of brown have always been one of my favorite…
