It's Always Cloudy in York PA

This weekend was one of the better weekends I have had in a while. I started it off by having a test in marketing class. I was able to secure a 93% on it in 7 minutes...not kidding. I then proceeding to get on a bus to go to VA for a track meet. We walked a mile to get to olive garden where we crossed I-95 on foot, I twisted my ankle in a pot hole but I survived. Saturday I ran pretty well. I ended up winning a Beer mug for first place haha. First place won mugs, second place won draft glasses, and third place won shot glasses. It was pretty awesome.

My assistant coach offered to drive me home to MD on his way back so I could attend to a surprise 21st birthday party...Hey I had to try out my new award right? Saturday night was about as fun as it can get with top shelf liquor and good friends. Petrone margaritas never felt so good. It was a good time for sure. I woke up Sunday where the weather became 70 degrees and sunny. I was over joyed at this scene until I realized I had to travel back to York later on. This is where the story becomes funny and ironic.

There is an inside joke for anyone that has been to York College that there is literally always a cloud no mater what over the campus. This has never rang so true. As Eric is driving me on 83 north, we approach PA where I notice a dark cloud in the distance. This is a circular cloud, surrounded by sunny skies. I tell him head for that cloud, my apartment is located underneath it. As we exit off 83 towards my school the cloud cover begins to become heavy. A storm is brewing. As we approach campus, visibility turns to zero feet. It is not raining however, it is just hailing with 60 mile per hour winds. By the time we reach my apartment there is 2 inches of hail in the back of the truck. The creek has flooded the entrance to my parking lot so we have to take the long way around. Jackson street is covered in 6 inches of water at some points.


There were hundreds of people outside playing in the rain, mostly because all of the basketball games were interrupted by mandatory tornado warning announcements. The campus really comes together in disasters.

It was in this moment of my life I realized, it is always cloudy in York PA...
