Rain Rain Go Away

Every living species on Earth requires water to survive, so it is without a doubt that raining is an essential function to our ecosystem and to the survival of all species on earth. It provides us with our source of water and replenishes the plants and soil so that we don’t have to end up living in a desert; however raining can also be menacing and annoying.

Raining represents depression, sadness, and misery. When it rains in a movie, it usually means something bad is about to happen or somebody gets murdered in the scene – very cliché. The rain causes roads to become slippery and therefore increases the risk of car accidents. The tires could lose traction and cause the car to hydroplane over the wet road. There is sometimes the all-natural free carwash when it rains really hard, but that makes it difficult for the drivers to see the road ahead. Filth and bacteria gather in the puddles during and after rainfall. A tiny splash from the puddles would ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes or pants, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling of the cold wetness on your body; it is even worse if the socks get wet and have to walk around in soggy socks all day. I’m sure many of you have experienced the agony of walking out of a building to find out that it is raining outside without having an umbrella prepared beforehand, having to walk in the pouring rain and getting soaked from head to toe.

i totally agree on how rainy weather makes things really depressing...especially at sfu..lol. it's enough that the campus totally looks like a prison but against a grey, wet background it's much worse...although on clear, sunny days the campus is quite breathtaking (i think anyway :p)...just goes to show how weather can really set a mood.
