Good Lord, I can't believe I only made ten blog posts before I fell off the blogwagon. This post isn't one that's particularly inspiring, but I want you all to know I'm not dead.
Things that happen in Washington as soon as the temperature hits fifty-one degrees:
1) Tiny shorts, sundresses, and sunglasses appear, whether they're necessary or not. I don't really understand this. It's like they hope that if they act like it's summer, it will be summer! Well I've got news for you. Eating the cake batter won't make your cake bake faster, dummies. That said, I applaud their bravery. Everyone's a little weird the first time they bare their legs after a long, dark, hairy winter.
2) People study outside on the grass, which is still wet. The professors seem pretty understanding when they get homework that is soaked through. On the other hand, you're basically sitting in a widely distributed puddle if you think about it, and if I'm paying 8,000 dollars to live in a tiny room, I will stay in my tiny room. It's better than a big puddle by a long shot. It has a bed, and an electric kettle.
Sidenote! If you want to know what to bring to college, don't bother with an electric kettle. I love mine, but I mostly drink tea with meals, and I'm out and about all day and so I can stop at the SUB and get more tea when I run out. I don't drink tea in the evenings and I don't drink hot chocolate so my electric kettle is only useful on days when I don't feel like getting dressed.
That's it. Go outside and play.

I'm sure this is a mostly Western Washington mindset: If it's not freezing (aka, you can't see your breath) then it's warm. Now if it's actually 50-60 and sunny, then it's hot and you are supposed to wear hot weather appropriate clothing.
ReplyDeleteI just use my coffee pot to make hot water for tea or hot chocolate. And coffee... Or even hot water for top ramen in a mug. Haha. College teaches people how to cook creatively. =]
