it's better to say too much

015. How to find amusement on a rainy day

I love many things about UBC, and sometimes it is incredibly hard to list them all. However, none are as intriguing and entertaining as watching students battle for umbrella space. If anything elicits giggles it is watching everyone fight for space, ducking and diving, swinging, swooping and ultimately crashing into each other. My vantage point is from within the umbrella mob, but can you imagine how hilarious watching from the sidelines would be? Let me tell you, it’s all quite amusing. The next time you’re caught in an Umbrella War, I urge you to just take a good look around, soak it all in, and let the giggling begin.

On another entertaining note: Buy an Advisor was tonight at Vanier and it was hilarious. There were so many RAs willing to do incredibly embarrassing things, all for the sake of charity. I ended up buying my RA and Rez Coordinator with another friend, and these lovely ladies have offered to bring much needed Vanier cheer when they come pick my up from the airport in January. Now all I have to do is find something hilariously embarrassing for them to wear…Oh the options.

With that, I hope everyone has a chance to find a little amusement and spontaneous laughter sometime during the day. Laughter is good for the soul!

Oh, umbrellas. I’m one of the people who just opts to get wet (it’s Vancouver: if you’re scared of water, go to UBCO). And 90% of campus needs a lecture on umbrella etiquette….
