5 Ways To Stay Dry On Campus When The Weather Starts To Turn

I'm gonna need four plastic bags, immediately.

It's always hurricane season and you're going to need more than just an umbrella to keep yourself as dry as my humor. Stay dry, get creative, and maybe even become popular at your school if you make use of these smart ideas. Here are five ways to keep the wet away.

1. Shoe bags

You might not want to buy these monstrosities and you don't have to! Just grab a couple plastic bags from your nearest dining hall and tie them around your shoes. White shoe wearers will thank me for saving their lives.

2. Bring a raincoat—but not for you

The raincoat is to put over your probably non-waterproof backpack. Follow this rule or else water will seep in and soak your 1000 dollar laptop.

3. Stand under someone else's umbrella

Of course, the person who was responsible enough to bring an umbrella in the first place should be covered more. So you must cling onto your friend as if you're in a Korean drama. Hug them until the rain stops and until the next episode.

4. Double/triple/quadruple umbrellas

I've seen too many fallen soldiers AKA umbrellas in the trash when it rains. You should have all eight of your backup umbrellas armed and ready for the worst.

5. Walk around in a tent

Tents are literally made to shield humans from the elements, yet no one walks around in a tent when it rains. Pitiful. Sacrifice your pride and pack a tent the next time it rains.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

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.
