I hate being outside in the rain. I think rainy days are meant for curling up in a blanket and spending the day reading a good book. Or watching a movie, safely inside, not getting soaking wet. But for some reason I choose to spend this rainy and cold evening at the football game.<\/p>\n
I knew there was an 100% chance of rain, yet I still wanted to go. Maybe because it was a new experience for me, maybe because I had nothing else major going on this weekend, maybe because I didn\u2019t think it would really be that bad.<\/p>\n
So there I was two hours before the game, getting ready to go. I piled on six layers (I get cold easily) including my rain jacket and headed out the door, ready to tackle the challenge of facing the rain.<\/p>\n
The game was great! It was the first time Michigan actually played well from the start in my opinion (granted I\u2019m definitely not a football expert). Plus there was a ton of energy since we were playing a pretty big team (Norte Dame). But it wasn\u2019t long until the rain somehow soaked through my rain jacket and six layers of shirts\/ jackets. So my friend and I left after the first quarter.<\/p>\n
This actually ended up being a great decision, because I got the best of both worlds. I got to experience part of the game live and enjoy the school spirit all around, and then when I got back to my dorm room and out of my wet clothes, I watched the rest of the game on my computer, curled up in a blanket just how I love to spend my rainy days.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it\u2019s great to get out and do things with a group, but it\u2019s also good to know when it\u2019s best to do things your own way. I\u2019m glad I ended up going to the game because it was really fun. But I\u2019m also glad that I knew when to leave and watch the game how I wanted to, because after having a pretty difficult week, last night made it end on a high note, despite the rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
