Springfield, MO. The city that is sunny about 0.5% of the year. Whenever it rains, it pours. Literally. It pours for about 8 days straight. However, you've got to prepare yourself for the rain.

Here's a list of 5 things to do when it rains in good 'ole Springy.

1. Wear a raincoat, but leave the umbrella at home.

The wind in Springfield is RIDICULOUS and you'll wish you would've just left that annoying, (now broken) umbrella in your dorm room.

2. Figure out the driest path to your classes.

I know I always cut through the PSU whenever I'm trying to stay dry, and then I'll stay in there a bit longer to cry a little bit.

3. Contemplate whether or not the class is ACTUALLY worth it.

News flash, it is. It's going to suck going across campus, but maybe you'll learn something extra productive!

4. Figure out when and where the Bear Line is.

This will be your lifesaver. TRUST ME.

5. Make sure you always know where your rain boots are!

These will be your saving grace. It's like walking through a tsunami sometimes.

If you follow all of these, you should end up staying nice and dry! Well as dry as you can. Good luck!
