Why Riverside Sucks If You Like It Cold

Riverside is still experiencing hot weather and I don't like it.

Why Riverside Sucks If You Like It Cold
Brian Wu

It's effin November and we still have high 80s and low 90s! I hate life right now. Now I was born and raised in NorCal and got used to winter starting in mid-October and December having an average temperature of high 40s or low 50s during the day. Winter doesn't end until late January, sometimes February. If you're used to this weather and like this weather, living in Riverside is like living in an eternal hell.

As I already had mentioned, it's early November and it still feels like summer. The sunlight doesn't last quite as long, but we still got that same ol' summer heat. WTF. We had a few times, but it was completely spontaneous. It started cooling down leading up to the rain, then we get thunderstorms, then the heat picks back up. Why?! I really don't understand. Back home, if rain is predicted, then you can expect to see rain for a week, maybe a week and a half.

Probably the best thing about the cold, is winter fashion. Rocking a clean bomber jacket with a hoodie underneath or swap out the bomber with a leather jacket over some faded jeans. Or if you like a classier look, throw on a peacoat over a zip sweater and some dark pants. If it's not too cold wherever you are right now, you can probably survive by just wearing a cardigan over a plain tee and some chinos. You can't really dress like this if you're in Riverside and if you do, you are something else. If you like doing summer things, like going to the beach, then Riverside and the places around it might be more for you. As for me and anyone else who likes cold weather, it's not so great. On the bright side, I only have to suck it for 2 more years.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
