How to use "Frivolous" in context?
Looking out the window at the gray sky, I knew that winter was coming. I packed my bag and said goodbye to the sun. I was about to embark on a new journey, one that would be full of snow and cold. As I walked out the door, I was hopeful for the change in weather. However, when I got in my car, the smell of melting snow hit me. The pavement was slick and I had to drive very carefully. I turned the radio on and listened to the latest pop song while I drove. I thought about how frivolous it is to spend time driving when there is so much snow on the ground.
