5 Things To Do On A Rainy Day

1. Read a book (not for school)

Chances are that the bulk of the reading you do is for either work or school. Take some time to grab a book and read some material you actually want to read.

2. Binge watch an entire series

It seems that as I've gotten older, catching shows every week has become harder and harder to do. Lucky we live in the age of streaming, where shows on your to-watch list are only a few clicks away.

3. Cook a recipe you've never made before

Everyone has those go-to recipes, but switch it up! If you've got the time to cook, try out something new. Worst comes to worst, order delivery.

4. Rearrange your room

If you feel like you're tired of your current set up, move things around. Even if it's just switching the position of some art on the walls, giving your room a different arrangement can give be just different enough for it to have a fresh look. Even grab a couple things from the store if you don't mind getting wet.

5. Play some classic games.

No offense to games like Black Ops III or World Of Warcraft, but taking games from simpler times can give you some good childhood nostalgia. Possible ideas include:

  • Monopoly
  • Uno
  • Life
  • Checkers
  • Trouble
  • Connect Four
  • Yahtzee
  • Charades
  • Karaoke
  • Candy Land


*Bonus game: Cards Against Humanity. Not a part of your childhood, but that's probably a good thing.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
