#Rainpacalypse2015 As Told By Yik Yak

Unless you live under a rock, you probably noticed the insane rainy weather last week that left Charleston in a state of minor chaos. Roads were closed, mini lakes were forming all around campus, and Yik Yak was on fire. And really, what better way to stay updated on what's happening around campus than keeping up with the Yaks?

1. First, it started pouring. Before we all knew it, downtown Charleston was practically underwater.

Really though, have you ever seen anything so accurate?

2. Meanwhile, Charleston County Schools, as well as other colleges in the Charleston area, were beginning to cancel classes for Friday. That is, except for CofC.


I really connected with this Yak on an emotional level, to be honest.

3. It wasn't long until Governor Nikki Haley would then declare a state of emergency. The words "historical flooding" were even used to describe just how bad it was going to be in the area.

Netflix is totally overrated in situations like these, guys.

4. As the day progressed, the weather grew worse. It got so bad, in fact, that students even began to see things.

*Cue the suspenseful "Jaws" music*

5. Did someone say alligators?

NANANANANANANA NA NA NA NA NANANANANANANA

6. Then CofC students began to wonder: Would Friday classes be canceled?

Damn, I probably should have known to check there first.

7. As time passed, students grew angrier. Did they expect us to swim to class? Rent kayaks?

Noah called -- he said he'd come pick us up in 20 minutes.

8. Students kept refreshing their email, hoping to hear the news that class would be canceled.

If that's the case, I certainly hope it was a good episode.

9. As of 9 p.m. Thursday, there still wasn't an email from the school saying that classes would be cancelled. Now, it was getting real.

Thank you, Yakker.

10. Students even began to bring their parents into it.

Gretchen Weiners, is that you?

11. Meanwhile, others really had their priorities straight.

This was the true PSA we all needed.

12. Then suddenly, as if the Gates of Heaven magically opened, CofC received the news they had all been waiting for: Classes were to be canceled for Friday, Oct. 2, due to inclement weather.

Canceling class is so fetch, Glenn.

13. But now, we've got more important business to tend to…

All in favor?

So go ahead and splurge on an inflatable raft, if you so wish. Hell, go ahead and even rent a kayak if you so desire. All jokes aside, stay dry and be safe, guys.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
