rain, rain...stay, don't go away

Finally it's here! After months and weeks of nothing but hot, sweaty weather, the cold and rain has come. It's probably already apparent that i adore the rain, everything about it. What's not to love?! So here's my list of great things that come only with rain:

1. let's start with attire. Who doesn't love rain boots, umbrellas, hoods, and hats?! It's the one time supervision WON'T yell at your for wearing a hood or take away your hat, so take advantage of it.

2. PUDDLE JUMPING. probably the greatest part of rainy days. you have fun, burn calories, and can seek revenge all in one simple jump. why not relax and act like an immature little kid again? 

3. no PE/running/sports. let's admit it, most of the time we dread going to practice/PE/anything athletic. well with the rain comes flooded fields, muddy tracks, and a lawsuit if you catch pneumonia from practice.

4. getting warm. there's nothing better than coming home from school soaking wet, putting on pajamas and socks, wrapping up in a blanket, and doing... absolutely nothing. put on a classic like Elf and you're set to go.

Well i know i could go on forever with all the pros that come with rain, and i'm sure you can reply with all the cons of it, but for once let's not be negative, but think about all that great things we get to have. so don't stay too cooped up during these rainy days, but GO OUTSIDE and enjoy it.

p.s. this is a note to those of you who freak out when you get wet/splashed/your hair gets messed up: GET OVER IT. it's already raining and it's inevitable that you're going to get wet, so why not embrace it and get soaked?! all right, that's all folks.
