Rain Rain Don't Go Away, And Please Come Back Another Day

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Rain Rain Don't Go Away, And Please Come Back Another Day
Jamie Azulay

Mother nature, please ignore all the haters who wish for the rain to go away. Growing up the best days to walk home were the rainy ones. Stomping through puddles and getting absolutely drenched made the best adventure. I’ve always had an unpopular opinion about gloomy weather. I absolutely love it! Let me tell you why.

1. Relaxation

Many people claim to like the rain for one, and only one, reason. Rainy days are the perfect movie days, book days, cuddling days, and napping days. I suppose I could just sum it all up and say rain equals relaxation! Cuddle up on the couch or in bed with a warm drink in hand, maybe even catch up on a few hours of lost sleep.

2. Puddle jumping

Even though rainy days call for a surplus of indoor activities, there’s no reason to be afraid of getting a little wet. Unless you’re the wicked witch of the west, the rain won’t hurt you. I promise. Throw on some rain boots and frolic in the rain. “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

3. Reflection

Rain washes away the old and brings in the new. Rainy days are a perfect time to get some rest, personal space and rejuvenation. Rainy days, when the pace is slowed down a bit, are the perfect time to reflect on what has been going on in your hectic life. Use the time to get back on your feet and get reorganized.

4. April flowers bring May showers

Like I said, rain washes away the old and brings in the new. Just because I love the rain, doesn’t mean I don’t love myself a good beach day as well. I love to sit out in the sun or lay in my hammock, but I know that I have to wait out the rain before I can get there. I might as well enjoy the rain while it’s here, because I know summer isn’t too far behind.

The rain can be a beautiful thing if we let it be. Mother nature, please ignore all the naysayers who can only find the positives in a sunny day, and continue to bring us rain. Give them the chance to love it as much as I do.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
