Weather profoundly affects mood

When I was 11, I was convinced that one day I would find a decently sized, sturdy yet weathered, letter in my mailbox from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Student Government is, as the name implies, an organization of student-elected members who work to improve and unify the high school. Although the organization [...]
