11 Things To Do When It Rains In The Summer

As I have written about before, I am working at a kids' camp this summer. I am living and working at a camp located in the Hamptons in New York. This is easily one of the prettiest places I have ever lived. However, it has come to my attention that in the beach towns around the world, and especially in the Hamptons, when the weather turns ugly there is nothing to do. Even businesses close down due to the poor weather, which is a blessing at times for those who work. Even with work being cancelled, the weather brings down the mood and vibe of a town and people. Rather then spending your day at the mall or a crowded movie theater, I have come up with a list of fun things to do when the rain ruins your summer plans.

1. Take A Bath

When is the last time you had the time to relax and take a bath? Rainy days are a great opportunity for one to finally relax and pamper their self.

2. Find And Cook A New Recipe

Most people do not have the time to cook or make homemade meals. If the weather is keeping you from your plans, cooking and finding and creating new recipes could be very fun. You could even invite your friends over to test out your creations and create a get-together.

3. Play Boardgames Like Monopoly

Be a kid again. Enjoy the little things. Monopoly is a long game and could be a very fun and entertaining pastime. Games are a great way to keep everyone involved and busy, especially because games like Monopoly last hours and hours.

4. Plan A Trip

Even if you have no money or time for a trip, plan one out. It could be very entertaining and you never know what life could bring you in your future.

5. Watch A Film Series Consecutively

Again, who has time to watch "Twilight," "Harry Potter," or "The Hunger Games" back to back to back? Rainy days are good for staying in, chilling out, and doing something that you may not be able to normally.

6. Organize Your Closet And Desk

Extra time could be well spent by reorganizing your life. The rain is so calming and if you put on some music, organizing could be very fun and beneficial.

7. Go To A Museum

Explore where you live. Go be a tourist for a day. See the sights. Get cultured!

8. Try Out A New Restaurant


If your cooking skills are not quite up to par, one may try a new food spot or just try a place they have never been before. Why not?

9. Workout

If you live near a gym, why not? Great way to kill time, be healthy, and keep your spirits high.

10, Go To Lazer-Tag Or Bowling

Be a kid! Grab a group of friends and remember what it is like to just do things for fun.

11. Explore A Local Brewery

Just another way to get out of the house, do something different, and learn and enjoy life regardless of the weather.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
