- Millions of students lined up outside Bailey Hall to take their psych exam. So many umbrellas!!
It has been raining non stop in Ithaca. I am not complaining, I love the rain. Especially now as the leaves begin to change; the rain makes all the reds and golds look more vibrant and clean.
In the varying levels of rain this past two weeks, there have been a few days where it has absolutely poured. Like buckets were being dumped from the sky. It was one of the few times when I have actually wanted an umbrella (Typically, I am exclusively a rain-coat wearer).
As I walked back from class, wishing for the first and last time in my life, I had an umbrella, I started to look at some of them that my fellow Cornellians were carrying to see what kind of person it is that actually carries an umbrella. While I didn’t figure out what differentiates me from those umbrella touting weirdos, I did gain some insight into their lives. I started taking pictures, which resulted in many strange looks (how do you hide the fact that your taking a picture of someone’s umbrella? It is raining and I have whipped out my camera-phone as I scurry after you…)What follows is a semi-artistic photo montage with thoughts included in captions:
- When filling out surveys, she claims to have a “colorful personality” in addition to her colorful umbrella
- I don’t get patterns on umbrellas. Why aren’t they all just one color? Do you have to match your outfit to the polka dots?
- Although it is a little grainy and hard to tell, this umbrella was HUGE. I don’t know if I have ever seen one this big.
- I don’t know if she got a job with Oliver Wyman, or just took this from their info session in an attempt to spite them

It’s so nice to hear a positive outtake on the constant rain. Probably the first I’ve heard.
Love,
