We all have that one friend who has no place in planning events, trips, or anything for that matter.
It’s almost always someone who claims that improvising is what they do best, and that they never have a speech planned.
“Just wing it” is their go-to phrase! Well, for me and my circle of friends, I’m unfortunately that friend! Yes, I have to admit that I’m the guy who is the worst at planning. However, I will say that I often find a way to help improve situations just through my improvising skills. See, about a month ago, my friends and I went camping. Now, if you’ve never been camping in the middle of July while in a very southern state, just know that it’s a very humbling experience. The heat is very intense, and will leave you clamoring for some kind of air conditioning! Two of my friends chickened out of sleeping in the tent, and chose to sleep in their cars with the air conditioning system running. Meanwhile, another friend brought a swamp cooler with them. They bought it thinking that a “swamp cooler” was ideal for the environment we were in – which was, after all, swampland. However, swamp coolers are called this because they create evaporating cool air! It’s ideal for hot, dry climates. In a wet climate like this campground was in, a swamp cooler does much more harm than good. My poor friend was sweating like a pig in his tent! Ultimately, I offered to let him sleep in my tent with me, as I had my portable cooling tower primed and ready to go through the night.
