50 Things I'd Rather Be Stuck Doing Than Be Stuck In The Rain And Be Dressed For The Sun

It becomes apparent to me that I neglected to open the shutters and peak at the weather. IT. IS. POURING.

I grab my coat as I sprint out the door into the rain, my titties flopping because I thought it was nice out enough to not wear a bra.

*Insert '90s record scratch here*

You're probably wondering how I got here.

I woke up to the smell of fresh coffee brewing. The start of a beautiful new spring day. As I pop some toast into the toaster, I refresh my Instagram feed rather than responsibly check the weather app. I slip on a pair of jeans, throw my hair in a ponytail, opt out of the whole bra thing, and slide into my new flats. Suddenly, my day goes backward.

I'm terribly late for the bus, and as I sling open the door, it becomes apparent to me that I neglected to open the shutters and peak at the weather.

IT.

IS.

POURING.

Have you been caught in a similar situation?

Allow me to validate your feelings as I elaborate upon situations I would rather be stuck in than be caught in the rain when expecting a sunny day:

2. Drink a gallon of grape flavored medicine.

5. Give up caffeine for a month.

6. Hang out with people who have "wanderlust" in their Instagram bio.

11. Get an infinity sign tattoo.

12. Wear tap shoes to a funeral.

13. Get food poisoning while skydiving.

14. Let Trump's barber style my hair.

15. Read another "open letter to..." on Odyssey.

16. Get eczema on my face.

17. Compete in Olympics gymnastics with no routine or prior experience.

18. Wear socks that have been dipped in honey all day.

19. Meet my significant other's parents for the first time and order an AMF with dinner.

20. Interview for a job and only be able to speak in hashtags.

21. Replace my contact solution with Tapatio.

22. Be a Yankees fan.

23. Go on "Chopped" and make Easy Mac with cut up hot dogs.

24. Laugh like Chanel West Coast.

25. Have my weekend at Coachella be my peak in life.

26. Only be able to use the dog filter any time I use Snapchat.

27. Be the commercial spokesperson for laxatives.

28. Sell my macaroni art outside of the Louvre.

29. Write a college admission essay on how "Fifty Shades of Grey" changed me as a person.

30. Play pin the tail on the donkey with me being the donkey.

37. Soak in a bucket of fish and then dive into the shark exhibit at the aquarium.

38. Take my Honda Civic and go on the show "Pimp My Ride."

39. Have my future daughter go on "Toddlers and Tiaras."

43. Listen to Megan Trainor while hungover.

44. Run out of deodorant on the hottest day of the year.

47. Run out of clean panties and detergent at the same time.

48. Get an itch on my right foot while driving.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
