Isaac unusual in comparison

 
My experience during Hurricane Isaac has been unusual.
Usually I stick it out with my loved ones when a hurricane threatens the gulf coast, but this time I’ve chosen to stay on campus because I didn’t think it was that big a deal. 
As I sat in the comfort of my dorm room I couldn’t help but think about my mom, brother and sister. I can’t help but wonder how they were beating the heat. I can’t help but wish I were there to endure the situation with them.
I haven’t heard from my family in New Orleans for at least 3 days. As far as I know the power is off and that’s about it.
I’m scared and for them and would like nothing more than to hear my mom’s voice at this point. There isn’t much I can do except pray for my siblings and my Mom.
I don’t wish this feeling on anyone.
The feeling of not knowing how your loved ones are doing, or what they might be going through. What I have learned is that when the next hurricane hits I will be home with my family, in the trenches, wet or dry at least I wouldn’t have to wonder.
All I can do right now is watch the news and pray they don’t mention anything bad about my part of town and to the people in and from Plaquemines Parish, my heart goes out to you. I know whatever I’m feeling you all are feeling 100 times more.
That being said,
There’s something about potential natural disasters that just brings the SUBR community together. 
I witnessed the facility staff of Residential Life whom we usually can’t stand during move-in days and throughout the semester band together as if we were their own children.
Don’t get me wrong I too have had my own personal vendetta against them, but I will give props when props are due. SU Residential life in my opinion did very well taking care of us residents.
Unfortunately we had the displeasure of having sack lunches for dinner. I know this isn’t Housing’s fault, more like Aramark’s.  We pay Aramark aka “Campus Dining” all $1,162.00 for a Meal Plan and this is what we get?
A soggy sandwich, bag of chips and a bottle of water? I would be more lenient if we had lost power but we didn’t. 
By receiving $1,162 from each student we expect you all to be supplying hot meals not sack lunch-dinners. Honestly Aramark… Do better.
