As I started sprinting back to my suite in the pouring rain, I stopped dead in my tracks. Why? Because I was already soaked from head to toe, and I thought, "I'm going to enjoy it."

Now, I am fully aware that I probably looked crazy as I jammed out to Isn't It Time by the Beach Boys, but you know what? I was long overdue "to dance the time away." With all of the chaos and negativity that's been going on, I think that this rainstorm was exactly what I needed.

I have been in a rut of seeing the glass half empty, but being trapped in the rain brought me back to when I was a kid; when being in the rain was the absolute BEST! Sometimes, you just need an actual storm to learn how to quite literally, dance in the rain. As a college student, the pain and stress of the semester is really taking a toll, but today, in the midst of the storm, I rolled with it. So the next time you're caught in the rain walking back to your house, apartment, wherever, crank up your tunes and just laugh in the moment. You'd be surprised how enjoyable it can actually be.
