Top 5 ways to enjoy beautiful Providence weather

New England isn’t quite known for having the best weather. Although the heat of Brown students' discussions often cancel out any chill that the weather might bring, sometimes it can be fun to really appreciate the moment and celebrate the weather, no matter what it might be. So, here are the five best ways to enjoy Providence’s recent “beautiful” weather.

5. Appreciate environmental efficacy

Do you recognize the enormous challenge that global climate change presents to humanity? Have you always appreciated the impact that small actions can have on large issues? Then this weather appreciation tip is for you! All you need to do is go about your regular Brown-related activities, whether that means working on your CS project in the CIT, studying in the CIT, or even doing your CS homework in the CIT ("""it’s not a concentration, it’s a way of life" - Abraham Lincoln" - Michael Scott” - Andy Van Dam) — just look upwards with your mouth open whenever you’re thirsty. Drinking water straight from the sky is a great way to reduce the need for plastic water bottles and take advantage of the current weather!

4. Try a different kind of waterboarding

Brown's campus can sometimes feel pretty large, especially if you live in Keeney and want to visit your Andrews friends every day. Well, the recent weather provides an excellent new way to get around! Forget bikes, walking, and private jets—we're now in the era of surfing on fast-moving sewer water with wooden planks. Simply steal some planks from your freshman dorm’s ceiling (preferably the ones with “gullible” written on them) and slide off into the beautiful—and wet—sunset. You'll never be late to those 9:00 a.m. classes if you just take advantage of Providence’s swamp-like attributes!

3. Put solar panels to a new use

A revolutionary new scientific study shows that solar panels are less effective when they don’t receive any sunlight. Thus, because of this “cloudiness” predicament, we Brown students ought to find a new way to make use of Brown's solar panels. Not to fear, Blog has a solution. We can reuse these now-useless solar panels by taking them off of our roofs and chopping them into small pieces, and then eating them with milk for breakfast. No further explanation necessary.

2. Hope and pray

It is well known that rain gods become 50% more powerful when the weather is this wet. Thus, whether you’re worried about that last Econ midterm or your upcoming date with the cutie from the second floor, you have a much greater chance than usual of having your prayers answered by the gods of sky condensation. Word on the street is that they are particularly receptive to a new group dance in which members alternate between doing the whip and nae-nae, along with the Macarena.

1. Whatever you do…

Stay inside. We all know the only option after encountering obstacles is to return to your past and promise yourself you'll never step outside of your comfort zone again. With that in mind, when this sort of weather comes around, maybe we should all just stay inside rather than regret not doing so later on. So, to conclude, just stay inside, kids.Image via.
