Having to walk to class in college is already a pain, especially if you go to a large university. The only thing that can make your trek to class even less pleasing is getting caught in a rain storm. Unfortunately, there will always be another dreary rainy day on the horizon, and sometimes it's just easier to prepare for the inevitable. Here are seven things that will most definitely happen to every college student on a rainy day.

1. You will miss the bus.

Sometimes I think they drive away from people purposely fast on rainy days.

2. Your umbrella will break.

You might just be better without it honestly. Embrace the wet rat look and save your dignity.

3. A car will drive by and splash you with dirty road water just like in the movies.

If it happened to Carrie Bradshaw, it will definitely happen to you.

4. You will actually wake up and do your hair before looking outside.

If you're lucky, you'll achieve such a level of frizzy that they might name a Troll doll after you.

5. You will step in a puddle that doesn't look that deep until your entire foot is under water up to your ankle.

6. You will probably step in something that doesn't look like mud, but it will definitely be mud.

Maybe there will be a nice little Arnold hanging around to help you, too.

7. You're going to slip and fall at least once.

In the hallway, on the stairs, in the Starbucks line... it's going to happen one way or another. Thousands of students walking around the same shiny floors with wet feet just does not bode well for anyone.

Rainy days are guaranteed, and they're probably going to come on the one day that you have to give a presentation on the other side of campus, but hey, that's college for you. Stock up on working umbrellas, invest in some rain boots, stick a hat on your head, and try to handle it as well as Kuzco here. Well, maybe a little better than Kuzco.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
