I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on my way from one class to the other when the clouds decide to open and pour down a mid-afternoon rain shower. The situation wouldn’t be too bad if I had maybe brought an umbrella with me, but of course I hadn’t. How many times has this happened to you?

I’m hear to give you some advice. Bring an umbrella. If you don’t have one, buy one now. Just a small one that will fit in your bag. There is nothing worse than having to buy an umbrella while it’s raining (they like to raise the prices during these peak moments). Don’t be that guy who ignores the fact that it’s raining and just continues on his merry way. We all know it’s raining. We can all see you walking in the rain. Stop it.

If you don’t like the rain at all, carry around a giant golf umbrella everywhere you go. You will look much more legitimet. You can even use it as a cane or spin it around like Willy Wonka.

Words to live by: Check the weather forecast each morning. If there is at least a 40% chance of rain, be sure you have an umbrella in your bag.

Good luck out there.
