As you may have heard, it rains in Seattle quite consistently from the beginning of fall to the end of spring. While other cities seem to be enjoying the warm weather and sunshine toward the beginning of April, Seattleites are still waiting anxiously indoors for the first opportunity to put on their shorts and t-shirts again.

The green grass and spring flowers make it seem like the weather should have cleared up weeks ago, but we’re still met with gray skies and that seemingly incessant rainy mist characteristic of our area. Here are five things Seattleites think when it simply refuses to stop raining.

1. I thought it was going to be nice today

Despite the generally consistent weather, people in Seattle can be naively optimistic about when the rain is going to end. The sun will come out for a second and we’ll leave our jackets at home, then ten minutes later it will start to pour and we’re left without a hood.

2. I don’t need to wear my rain boots anymore, right?

If we checked the weather report more often, this would stop being a problem.

3. Maybe I’ll just move to Arizona

In Arizona, people actually get to enjoy the sunny spring weather. They can swim in their pools, walk outside without getting their feet wet, and even get a tan. What would that kind of life be like?

4. It’s fine because the summer will be nice

Yes, the weather is horrid now, but come June everyone else will be envious of our clear days that rarely get to be above 80 degrees. We can actually go outside during the summer months without getting a heatstroke, which is a major plus.

5. Dress for the weather you want, not the weather you have

The most ambitious Seattleites don’t let the weather get in the way of their spring fashion. Maybe your toes will freeze in those new sandals, but you can still wear them proudly.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
