Editorial: Why Did You Have to Ruin It?

As residents of South Dakota, we know the weather is always changing. There is always going to be more snow, wind, rain or some other thing.

There are many good things about snow and winter. It’s a good time to relax inside bundled in blankets and drink hot chocolate. When snow blankets the ground and the trees, everything looks completely different. For the first snowfall, everything is fun and exciting, it’s easy to cave into the desire to play in the snow.

Taking a break from the constant stress of studying, homework and work is a necessity. So why not use South Dakota’s constant weather to our advantage? Students have constructed snow forts, had snowball fights and built snowmen all across campus.

However, almost all of the things built have been ruined. Only a few hours after being built, the snowmen decapitated and the fort walls were demolished. Why do that? Someone just built that, why ruin it?

We’re all adults here right?
