20 Reasons We Love Rainy Sundays

If your life is anything like mine, you're always in a hustle. Between being a full-time student, a part of clubs and activities, sometimes having to be in the library a little too late, and still managing a social life doesn't leave a lot of time to just take a breather from it all. When it does happen, it's a blessing, and more often than not, happens to fall on my favorite undervalued occasion, a rainy Sunday.

Rainy Sundays are a blessing in disguise. When it's rainy, the world seems to quiet down and hunker down inside. Coupling this with the typically less busy, recovery day from a hectic week that Sunday is creates a beautiful combination that many don't appreciate. The day is welcoming you to do so much without doing much at all.

1. Rainy Sundays call for sleeping in. The sound of rain is like a lullaby for big kids.

2. Rainy Sundays call for a long hot shower. Or at least longer than your usual half hour.

3. Rainy Sundays call for no makeup. Not that there's ever really a need for it.

4. Rainy Sundays call for online shopping. Go ahead and splurge, the day needs some sunshine.

5. Rainy Sundays call for over-sized sweatshirts. And some fleece-lined leggings wouldn't hurt either.

6. Rainy Sundays call for watching a full season on Netflix. Or even two if it's that kind of day.

7. Rainy Sundays call for hot cocoa. Or any preferred hot beverage, really.

8. Rainy Sundays call for candles. Grab your go-to scent and cuddle up.

9. Rainy Sundays call for painting your nails. Go ahead and do three coats, you've got all day.

10. Rainy Sundays call for YouTube tutorials. Which you most likely won't be able to do on yourself.

11. Rainy Sundays call for a good book. There's no shame in reading it cover to cover either.

12. Rainy Sundays call for slippers. Real shoes are out of the question.

13. Rainy Sundays call for a face mask. Always exfoliate when you get the chance.

14. Rainy Sundays call for a mellow Spotify station. Cue the John, Colbie, Corinne, and Jack.

15. Rainy Sundays call for messy buns. Honestly the only practical hair style for Sundays.

16. Rainy Sundays call for too many layers of blankets. If you aren't on the brink of sweating, add more.

17. Rainy Sundays call for lengthy Pinterest browsing. Go ahead and pin your future, plan ahead.

18. Rainy Sundays call for lots of snacks. Maintain variety so you can't say you ate the whole bag alone.

19. Rainy Sundays probably should call for catching up on some homework. Probably, but eh.

20. Rainy Sundays call for letting time slow down for just a little while. Soak it all in while you can.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
