Here, at the University of Southern California, many of the students are Angelinos. Therefore, when they see water coming down from the sky, they act like the apocalypse is finally upon them. Then, there are the others–the ones who have actually seen rain because they're from a place with seasons (i.e. the rest of America), but they've been here so long that they've forgotten what it's like. Or, they have never had to walk to class in the rain before.
Since on average it only rains about 14 inches per year, which is nothing, everyone's gotten used to hearing things like this:
But when human beings have to actually function and Los Angeles is #blessed with such weather, the thought process goes more like this:
1. "What is this? Why is water falling from the sky?"
2. "Must. Snapchat. Rain."
3. "Does this mean the drought's over?"
4. "This weather actually matches my mood every day I have to wake up for class."
5. You consider skipping class and emailing the professor this gif.
"Sorry, had to miss class to celebrate the end of the drought."
6. "Wait, I can wear boots and sweaters!"
7. "Okay, I'll go to class only because I get to look cute."
Unfortunately, nobody looks as good as Selena when drenched in water.
8. "Ugh, traffic is gonna suck."
9. "My laptop's going to get wet, too."
10. "I don't own an umbrella. Do they even sell them in California? I can't afford the ones at the bookstore."
11. "Getting on my bike means it's time to get pelted and stabbed in the eyes by water."
12. "Ugh. I can feel the nature through my clothes."
13. "I wish I'd stayed in bed."
14. Splashing in puddles:
LA really isn't built for this.
