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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
