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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
