Working on winter break. What a torturous task to go through. While everyone is at home relaxing and spending time with family you’re working nonstop on your feet and watching the clock until you can leave.

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years makes the rest of us positively as insane as they were.…

The hot, humid, and sweltering heat that ran through out Orlando, Florida was all that people could feel. At some points you could actually see the heat waves rising. For as far as you could see, there were kids eating all kinds of sugary treats that were abnormally priced but the parents would do anything to keep their kids hydrated and happy in this heat. My parents were doing the same thing to my family that day too. We were there for an extended family vacation to reunite after years of not seeing each other.…
