April Showers Bring May Flowers

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Columbia Chicago chapter.

It’s that time of year again. The snow in Chicago may finally be gone, but the rain has come to stay for the month of April. Everybody will be trading in their scarves, snow boots and winter coats and now be sporting their umbrellas, rain boots, galoshes and ponchos. I love rainy weather, even though I hate getting caught in it with no umbrella. There’s nothing worse than being drenched in water in wet clothes. However, it can be perfect for relaxing, watching movies and cuddling up with that special someone. April showers may bring may flowers, but I’m ready for summer! Bring on the sunshine, warm weather and shorts!
