It’s rain season, hurricane season, pray so classes get cancelled season, but us Puerto Ricans have very unique and peculiar ways of dealing with storms coming our way. Here is a list of stuff we do when there’s no much left to do:
- Stay at home: Do we really have a choice?
- Charge all of our electronic devces: How do you expect us to survive without them?
- Be sure to have battery lamps, flashlights, candles and matches.
- Be sure to have water and canned food.
- Listen to music: ALWAYS!
- Watch Netflix: Netflix and chill and a storm… sound good?
- Get cranky when we drain our electonic’s battery: Did I just REALLY?
- Be bored: Meh.
- Cook: rice and chicken soup: YUM!
- Eat: Do you want to see me get cranky?
- Sleep: Best way to forget about Mother Nature and her mood swings!
- Read: Either it’s on a tablet or a good old fashioned thing called a “book”.
- Use a battery powered radio: to feel like it’s 1950.
- Sit down and study: There’s always THAT professor…
- Get organized: Procrastination 101
- Turn on the power generator when the electricity goes out: REALLY?!
- Complain about there not being any electrcity, like AT ALL!
- If the water system is blocked out: no showering. YAY, fun.
- Have fun and socialize with our families: Actually play games and talk to them.
- Last, but not least: sit down and admire the storm.
Thanks Mother Nature for bringing us closer together
