Continuation of the Irony

So, to make up for hte loss of skiing this weekend, my friends and I decided to build and iglou. (I do not know how to spell it) Like many people, we took the recycling bins to the snow and made blocks that came together to form a huge fortress. Unlike most of the structures however, our iglou has a roof, and was built mainly by 2 girls. the iglou is so big that my friend, who is rather short, can stand up completely in it.
Do you ever get inspired to just do something, mainly to have the experience and the story to say you did it? Well, Saturday night, after the iglou was completed, me and my friends slept in the iglou. I know it sounds crazy, but my friends and I figured this is college, its the time to do something crazy, to collect the stories, so create a memory that one day you can say to those younger than you, "One time in college...". I feel that since you only have one time to live your life, you might as well make it the best book you can full of experiences and stories good and bad, because lets face it, no one wants to read a book of a perfect life, thats just plain boring. No, a good novel consists of good and bad parts, because with out the bad one can not fully experience the good. Think about it. If all one knew there whole life was good events they would only ever be content because they have nothing to compare it to, to know that it is good. Every bad experience makes the good so much better. Now, I'm not saying I'm about to go out and ruin my life just so down the road I can experience the good, I'm just going to experience things, like sleeping in an iglou because its a story to tell. It is an experience to share, even if it is a cold and dumb idea, I can now share that experience with others, and now I appreciate my dorm room a Whole lot more. :)

  1. The igloo sounds like a lot of fun. I wish i had the chance to, but I got busing doing other things. How was sleeping in it? Was it cold or did ya'll bundle up? Which one is yours? There are a lot of igloos on this campus.
