Being a Pirate requires...

Being a Pirate in Greenville, NC requires you to have rain boots. And you'd think that this being my Junior year of college that I would have caught on to that. However, there's just one problem. I really have issues spending more than $15 on something that I won't wear very often. I mean, they're not very attractive nor are they very comfortable but in Greenville it is very necessary to own a pair. And this is why: It rains at least 3 days out of the week here and the rain shows no mercy. It usually floods a little bit, but not enough to get classes canceled --but definitely enough to give Bindi a good swimming lesson in the back yard. And this monsoon we experience here in Greenville always leaves me with wet, cold, wrinkly feet and wet pants..all the way up my leg to the point of where my rain jacket hits my thigh. (I finally caught on to the rain jacket phenomenon last year!) So, to anyone interested in being a Pirate...either get rain boots or be ready to do some swashbuckling!

And for anyone who doesn't know this: Uggs aren't exactly the best shoes to wear in the rain. Which is why I decided to write today about why I need rain boots...because I walked around campus all morning with wet feet due to my comfy Uggs being soaking wet. Hooray!
