After exiting my hour and a half calculus class (and that's everyday, people), I was immediately halted in my tracks when I saw one of my fellow classmates wearing black sweat pants, a red American Apparel hoodie, and toting what appeared to be a child's umbrella.

Keep in mind, it was approximately 97 degrees that day. This is before we calculate the humidity index. "Can summer school really cause one to snap?," I thought to myself. Just looking at this woman made me want to pass out from heat exhaustion. And yet, she looked as if she didn't have a care in the world.

I think it was the umbrella that really got me. Why not just wear sunglasses? Or a hat? Sure. Summer brings with it periods of rain, but there was no over cloud that day.

What do you think? Have you ever walked around in the summer with a umbrella? Silly or practical? Discuss.
