Either you're stuck inside, having no idea what to do, or you leave the house and again, have nothing to do. We've all been faced with them (especially this year) - rainy days.

But rainy days don't always have to be miserable and just, bleh. Here are 8 things you can do to make your rainy days fun, productive, and a lot less bleh.

1. Try something new.

Learn to knit, try a new recipe, read that book that's been sitting on your desk! Push yourself to do something new and exciting rather than sitting around waiting for the storm to pass.

2. Get work done.

Finish that essay you've been putting off, do some homework, or even write your Odyssey article...

3. Release your inner child.


Go jump in puddles, play some video games, or make a blanket fort! Let your inner child go crazy!

4. Have a movie marathon.

Have some friends come over, pop some popcorn, and pop in your favorite movies!

5. Have a spa day.

Throw in a bath bomb, put on a face mask, and just relax! You deserve it.

6. Catch up on sleep.

On a nice day, it's hard to convince yourself (and others) that it's okay to sleep the day away. But, when it's gross and dark outside, you can definitely catch up on some Zzzz's.

7. Go shopping.

Rather than sitting home being bored, do some retail therapy mourning the bad weather. Throw on some comfy clothes and head to the mall! All the stores you could possibly want (and you don't have to go outside in the rain in between stores)!

8. Clean your house.

Organize your desk, finally sweep the floor, or dust the top of your dresser. If you're going to sit around the house anyway, might as well get some chores done!

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.

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.
