The day civilization was lost

So I've been living on this tiny island for 2 months, and I've been talking about the lack of civilization here the entire time.  Well imagine that there's less civilization than I've been telling you about this whole time... didn't think that was possible?? Yeah, well I didn't either.  But today proved me wrong.

It started off like any other day on the island.  Wake up, get breakfast, go to class, try to stay awake with coffee, leave class, lunch...  But then my day was halted. The power went out. And the internet. On the whole island.  The WHOLE ISLAND. Plus some of the mainland up to Point aux Pins, Mississippi.  Okay, so everyone will live without lights for a day, what's the big deal??  Well, let me tell you what the big deal is.  Do you know what all electricity blesses society with?
Computers: I have 6 lab reports to write and an exam to study for
Smack Talk: It's Tuesday, which means I NEED to upload Smack Talk. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please go watch this YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjqJI1u8v8CKcewkjNU6FnA. You will see my lack of shame and laugh. You're welcome for that.
Laundry machines: NEVER thought I'd be so dissappointed to not do laundry (Mom will be so proud!), but I need to clean and pack clothes for my trip to Mexico on Saturday.
Air Conditioning: Let's talk about my new appreciation for the sweet blessing that is AC.  Air Conditioning, my friends, is taken advantage of. If you are one who doesn't appreciate it's gift, please live on this island (aka pit of humidity) for a day and I promise your appreciation will grow. Now imagine this pit of humidity we call Dauphin Island without this blessing.... Yes, you are now imagining muggy death.

To make up for that terrible image I just gave you, please enjoy this picture of my view today:

Yes, that is a black square.

That is a quality picture right there, amiright?? Yes, I am.  Because we, islanders, always look a hot mess... you know, beach bum lifestyle and all.  But can you imagine when we're actually hot messes? Hopefully not because that would just be downright scary.  The black square is looking better now, isn't it?

Well this all happened because someone hit a transformer.  So I'm writing this to ask you all to not hit things- it's not nice. Especially because when you do dumb things, it will affect people.  A whole island of people.  So be considerate and don't blow up transformers.
