This time of year is supposed to be full of sunshine, shorts and super happy people soaking up the rays. However, in New York, you can never be sure what the weather is going to be like. Unfortunately, this year New York somehow decided to mix the seasons all together to keep us on our toes. While it was incredibly enjoyable to have that week of super nice weather in the beginning of March, now we're suffering through March weather in May. I'm sick and tired of this nasty, cloudy weather. However, I can't change the weather, so we may as well make the best of it. And I believe making the best of it means making a joke out of it. I know for a fact that you won't be outside—it's probably too cold—so make good use of your time and get a good laugh out of this negative weather.
Going outside before checking the weather.
You are definitely not dressed accordingly. Plus, your hair looked so good. "April showers bring May flowers" is no longer a valid statement.
Going outside after checking the weather.
Even if the weather app says it's not raining, it probably is. Which also means it's colder than expected. We just can't win.
Wondering if the date is wrong.
Honestly, this weather is much more suited for October. Cloudy and 50 degrees sounds much more like fall.
Realizing the date is actually correct.
It's actually spring? What a smack in the face. I was told spring was supposed to be warm and sunny, even in New York. At this time of year, students at EC are rumored to swim in the fountain... I have yet to witness this with the awful weather.
Trying to get out of leaving your room because it's so cold.
Or perhaps you're actually sick because of the mixed up weather. Either way, you don't want to leave the comfort and warmth of the indoors.
Feeling a good amount of hatred toward Mother Nature.
She's the one preventing us from being able to wear shorts and get tan. She can't make up her mind on what season it is.
Having friends on trips to warm, sunny places and seeing them post about it every day.
I can't explain how jealous I am of your 85-degree weather. If you could stop rubbing it in my face, that'd be great. (I'm directing this to those on the Australia trip that I know. You suck.)
Wishing for those people to bring the warm weather back with them.
We can only dream.
Thinking the weather has to get warmer sooner or later.
There is no limit on how long this cold weather lasts. It's New York for God's sake. We can't expect anything more.
Looking at the five-day forecast.
Yep. Every day is either cloudy, partly cloudy, or rainy, and the high is 52 at best. Life can't get any worse (unless you get hit by a bus).
Remembering that the forecast isn't always right.
The next five days could turn out to be sunny and 60, who knows? (Probably not, but we can hope.)
Not letting the crappy weather turn you into a big grump.
You can still have a fantastic day when the weather sucks. If it's raining, go out and jump in the puddles! It's so fun; don't knock it 'til you try it. Or, stay in and watch Netflix with your friends. Whatever you do, crappy weather can be the least of your worries!
I actually checked the weather for the next week and it's supposed to be at least in the 60s! So our wishing and praying wasn't for nothing. Here's to warmer weather and a fantastic rest of term!
