Traveling For The Social Holiday

Lunar New Year has finally arrived to those who celebrate it.
Lunar New Year is the Chinese New Year and it is the biggest social holiday for them. This major social holiday takes place from January 21st through February 20th. It is usually roughly celebrated for around fifteen days.
The Chinese associated an animal, a horse, to the upcoming observance.
The Chinese celebrate their biggest social holiday by traveling back home from their bustling cities to the rural areas where their family live. The residents have faced different challenges in order to travel in the worlds most populous nation. Traveling home is quite difficult since getting a train ticket is a challenge. Everyone is taking the train to travel. The trains are really packed with no space to even breath.
College Athletes
Some time ago I found out something pretty interesting. And it is also quite shocking. College athletes are hold quite holy on the court, field or track but when it comes to reading there is no magic happening.
Houston we have a problem. Some student Athletes can not even read basic text and have to sound out the longer words first before attempting to try to pronounce them.
They are getting accepted in prestigious colleges even though they do not make the grade. It is all about the money not about the students education.

Is It Really Cold

The weather yet again has started to act up. It went from being hot and humid to cold and windy....... Not everyone is use to this drastic change in weather, which is out of the blue.
A lot of running around at last minute looking for a sweater, jacket, and maybe even a thick blanket.
The weather is acting up all over the world. In places that are usually hot is now cold, places that are cold are frozen!
Places like Australia, which is normally hot is now even hotter and dry. People there are collapsing because they can't take the heat.
