It sounded like an ocean outside my
window. My blinds were closed but I couldn’t bring myself to open them. The
wind whipped and tore at my building. Our power was still working. My Internet
and cable held strong as well. Almost every television station had coverage on
Sandy but I couldn’t watch any of those. I looked for a channel, any channel,
that wasn’t covering the storm. I tried to keep myself occupied. I watched a self-created Gossip Girl marathon. I probably ate about three times my body weight in food. I even colored in my princess
coloring book. Fire truck and police sirens echoed in my ears and their lights
flashed through my blinds. My roommates and I were going insane. We were bored. We were stuck. Our college administrators told us that
we weren’t allowed to leave our rooms but it's not like we were planning on going anywhere, anyway.
