I'm not buying into all this excitement about the Northern Lights

. I mean, yeah, it's cool and all, but is it really worth making such a big deal out of?

It's just charged particles from the sun colliding with our atmosphere... how exciting can that be?

And don't even get me started on the photoshopped pics on Instagram

. I'm not saying it's not beautiful or anything, but let's keep things in perspective here.

How many people actually saw this spectacle? Like, a few thousand?

The rest of us just got to enjoy a slightly brighter night sky

. Can we move on from the hype now?
