A Love Note To Wilmington Weather

It's so indecisive.

A Love Note To Wilmington Weather
Jessica Cohn

Dear Wilmington weather,

I want to thank you for being so indecisive. One day I'm wearing shorts because it's bright and 70 degrees, and the next I have my heavy jacket from Pennsylvania on and a scarf to keep my neck warm from the large gusts of wind. We have rainy weather one day and then beach weather the next. I guess that's just what happens when you live near the shore.

Even though it's hard to plan what to wear, Wilmington Weather, you keep it interesting. I've come into a routine of checking the weather app twice a day to make sure the weather hasn't changed, because sometimes it does. I permanently keep my raincoat in my backpack for the frequent, random rain showers, and I've learned not to wear flip-flops on days it'll rain all day unless I want to slip.

We have ice storms and tornado watches, heat waves and low temperatures. Of course there are also the hurricanes that give us some days off from school since we don't have snow days down here. Wilmington Weather, I love it all. I come from a town where we have all four seasons and the weather follows it closely aside from rare occasions where there's a snow storm in April. Here in Wilmington, if it wasn't for the months, I would never know what season it is. It's February? Doesn't feel like it when the sky is blue and people are wearing short-sleeved shirts outside.

Although the constant changes in weather don't do well for my allergies, I love how you are so spontaneous. I've learned to layer a lot better since it could be freezing in the morning, but I'm at the beach in the afternoon. My wardrobe has never been so versatile.

Thank you, Wilmington Weather, for being the wishy-washy weather you are. It is part of what makes Wilmington so interesting.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
