8 Things To Do On A Rainy Day

We all get them, those rainy day blues. The days where you just sit around all day doing nothing while looking outside your window at the sadness that is outside. Rainy days seem to somehow always get the best of us and zap all of our energy. But we don’t have to let this happen! It’s time to take back those rainy days and do something with our lives. Instead of sitting on your butt all day doing nothing, it is time to sit on your butt all day doing something. Granted these things require very little energy but hey it’s better than nothing. Here is eight things to do on a rainy day:

1. Watch Netflix.


Nothing is better on a rainy day than sitting back, relaxing, and binge watching an entire season of a single show. While not the most productive thing to do with your time, it definitely passes the time on a dreary day.


2. Invite friends over to watch a movie.


There is no better feeling than cuddling up with your friends on a couch with some popcorn to watch a movie. It is fun and it distracts from the grossness going on outside.

3. Read a good book.


Get lost in a magical world or swoon at a romance novel. Curl up with a book and a blanket and escape your rainy world.

4. Bake something.


Raining makes everyone sad, so why not eat your sorrows away with delicious treats?

5. Take a nap.


Sometimes the best thing to do is just shut off your mind and take a nap. Life is so stressful and rainy days are a perfect way to destress and catch up on some zzz's.

6. Work out.


Now this is one of the more energy exerting things to do when its raining but it is also a very positive one. Rainy days put me in the worst mood but I always end up feeling refreshed and energized after a trip to the gym or some crunches and pushups at home.

7. Hang out with your friends.


Sometimes the best thing to do in the rain is just to do nothing with the people you love. You never know what crazy antics you and your friends can get into when your trapped inside. Sometimes the funniest moments are just sitting around talking and laughing about everything and nothing at all.

8. And if you're feeling bold, dance/sing in the rain.


You never know, it could be a fun time.

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.
