#Rainpacalypse2015 As Told By Yik Yak

Unless you live under a rock, you probably noticed the insane rainy weather last week that left Charleston in a state of minor chaos. Roads were closed, mini lakes were forming all around campus, and Yik Yak was on fire. And really, what better way to stay updated on what's happening around campus than keeping up with the Yaks?

1. First, it started pouring. Before we all knew it, downtown Charleston was practically underwater.

Really though, have you ever seen anything so accurate?

2. Meanwhile, Charleston County Schools, as well as other colleges in the Charleston area, were beginning to cancel classes for Friday. That is, except for CofC.


I really connected with this Yak on an emotional level, to be honest.

3. It wasn't long until Governor Nikki Haley would then declare a state of emergency. The words "historical flooding" were even used to describe just how bad it was going to be in the area.

Netflix is totally overrated in situations like these, guys.

4. As the day progressed, the weather grew worse. It got so bad, in fact, that students even began to see things.

*Cue the suspenseful "Jaws" music*

5. Did someone say alligators?

NANANANANANANA NA NA NA NA NANANANANANANA

6. Then CofC students began to wonder: Would Friday classes be canceled?

Damn, I probably should have known to check there first.

7. As time passed, students grew angrier. Did they expect us to swim to class? Rent kayaks?

Noah called -- he said he'd come pick us up in 20 minutes.

8. Students kept refreshing their email, hoping to hear the news that class would be canceled.

If that's the case, I certainly hope it was a good episode.

9. As of 9 p.m. Thursday, there still wasn't an email from the school saying that classes would be cancelled. Now, it was getting real.

Thank you, Yakker.

10. Students even began to bring their parents into it.

Gretchen Weiners, is that you?

11. Meanwhile, others really had their priorities straight.

This was the true PSA we all needed.

12. Then suddenly, as if the Gates of Heaven magically opened, CofC received the news they had all been waiting for: Classes were to be canceled for Friday, Oct. 2, due to inclement weather.

Canceling class is so fetch, Glenn.

13. But now, we've got more important business to tend to…

All in favor?

So go ahead and splurge on an inflatable raft, if you so wish. Hell, go ahead and even rent a kayak if you so desire. All jokes aside, stay dry and be safe, guys.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
