Are you SCARED of the Dark?!

Are you scared of the dark? I hope not because the power went out this week on campus. There was an accident were a car ran into a poll and the transformer on the poll blew up, on a road close to Eastern’s campus. When this was going on, I was in the gym playing basketball, with a few other girls and the lights went out in the middle of our game. The score board made a very loud noise and scared some of the girls half to death. Then the generator lights turned on and off and someone slammed the gym door shut, it felt like we were in some type of scary movie or something. We went outside to see what had happened and as we looked into the sky we saw the sky flashing orange and blue. I wasn’t really scared but I knew that I need to head back to my dorm before anything else happened.
 Oh! Thank you so much mom for getting me a flashlight because I was able to use this to head back to my dorm across campus when it was pitch black. I was also able to see in my room which was very helpful. The power was out for about two hours and a lot of people were very upset because they were trying to do their homework but there computer was low on battery. So I decided to read my book for class in the hallway, were there was some light that was still on from the back-up generators(never thought that reading a book would make time go by so much faster). All I can say is that I am glad that I wasn’t afraid of the dark.

Advice: Make sure to always carry around a flashlight and try and keep your laptop charged at all times because you never know what will happen.
