The snowstorm has affected everyone in some way, shape, or form in our area for the past two weeks. Whether it’s having to shovel driveways or cars, dealing with the icey uncleaned roads and sidewalks, or maybe even enjoying the view and experience, it is definitely something that has changed the way or enlightened your idea of snow. This thick snow and slippery ice is something not many people have probably experienced, or something that may not be seen for a while. It is surely something that has changed our normal living ways the last two weeks.

While snow was still falling and temperatures were hitting single digits, who wouldn’t like staying in their room surrounded by their blankets and pillows? (Eric Ramiscal)Even though it snows, not everyone gets to have a lazy day, but with snowplow drivers leaving lanes open, snowy sidewalks, and even roads like this that is untouched. How are people supposed to get around on time? Taken January 30th 2026 (Elias Cortez)With snow this big, why not try snowboarding? The picture being taken in January 28th 2026, Snowboarding is a perfect activity to try while it snows. Even when it doesn’t, they’ll always have “snow” for you. The picture includes Elias Cortez going on vacation to go snowboarding. “You don’t get a lot of chances to snowboard with this much real snow, so better now then never.” (Eric Ramiscal)taken February 14th 2026, a trip to the Whitetail Mountain Resort, known to be one of, if not the best, ski resorts around DC/Baltimore area.

I am curious about various things about journalism and the teachings it brings, as well as things maybe not completely related to journalism. My Interests are learning to better write and improve knowledge in many different aspects that are discussed and are going to be written about. The main goal of mine is basically to be able to learn and understand a new topic written about and be able to express more of it and publish it in good writing and detail. I am interested in improving my English and writing abilities as a whole.
Also intrigued and excited about journalism as a whole to help discover career goals and plans, or at least boost skills that a career may need. I can use Journalism to refine knowledge and skills that many might lack nowadays, and can give a huge advantage in the future for any purpose. Overall, I am highly excited and ready for the entirety of the year as there are high and fun expectations for the course, as well as with said alumni.
