Apparently, early this morning, one of the people that goes my school, one of the now sophomores, was killed trying to escape a fire at a bed and breakfast at like 1:30 this morning.
http://www.nujournal.com/page/content.detail/id/524847/Four-missing-in-Bohemian-B-B-fire.html?nav=5009I was looking on Facebook a few hours ago and saw her name being tagged in people's statuses left and right, so I went to look on her page - all I saw was a bunch of RIPs and my mouth fell open. I texted my friend to see what exactly was going on and he said she was trapped in the fire and didn't make it out.
I didn't know her extremely well but I would gladly say I can call her my friend. She was easily one of the nicest people I've ever met. She never made jokes about anyone, she tried her best to be the social butterfly within all of the students at my school and she was just always a fun person to be around in my classes. It sucks to think that someone of her nature, who was so upbeat and could have gone so far in life, has died. She was very smart as well, I'm sure that she could have accomplished damn near anything she could have ever wanted to.
I then realized that stuff like this happens all of the time to people all over the world, maybe even dozens of times a minute. People who had closer relations than that that I had with this girl are feeling like something was ripped away from them and maybe even feeling similarly.
I realized today that death can be one of the harshest things to strike a population, no matter who it is.
