It’s been raining a lot in Los Angeles these past few months, and as residents of a city known for its sunshine, beaches, and tanning, we have not been prepared. Couple lack of preparedness with the USC college-student lifestyle (frugality, improvisation, ~chill~), and you have trash bags substituting for umbrellas, and “water-proof” Converse for rain boots. A few weeks ago, one of my classmates was dressed in only a sweater and shorts (preparedness, right?) when rain began pounding outside. A kind member of the facilities management team saw her fearful look out the window, and offered to give her a trash bag for protection. He ripped a hole through the top, helped her nestle her head through, and off she went. I was both endeared and impressed by his creative act of kindness. 🙂
