12 Ways To Cure Rainy Day Boredom

You finally get a day off from work and are so excited to see your friends. You check the weather and see the dreaded thunderbolt emoji. Instantly, your smile turns to a frown as your plans to go to the beach or explore the city are no longer possible. You find yourself scrambling for other things to do, but struggle to come up with ideas.

Here are some suggestions to make rainy days in the suburbs a little less boring and a lot more productive:

1. Clean up your social media accounts. 

Sure, you probably thought those pictures from freshmen year were cute when you first posted them, but looking back they may be kinda cringe-worthy now. Take this opportunity to delete/untag yourself from any unflattering or unprofessional pictures.

2. Update your resume. 

If you're anything like me, making changes to your resume isn't something you do on a daily basis. Rainy days are the perfect time to do this tedious task, putting you in a better position to receive employment opportunities.

3. Help your parents with chores around the house. As them if they need any errands run as well.

4. Clean your room. 

Go through your drawers and closets and get rid of any clothes that are too small or you don't see yourself wearing anymore. Consider making a donation pile as well.

5. Go on a food date with friends.

You may not be outside, but you'll be in good company with good eats.

6. Start a new series on Netflix or Hulu.

7. Journal about your life. 

There are a lot of things you'll have to look back on and smile!

8. Hang out with your family.

It may be more fun than you think.

9. Look through your old yearbooks. 

10. Do something you haven't done in a while.

It's always enjoyable to pick up an old hobby and rekindle some old passions.

11. Go shopping for some new clothes or apartment decorations. 

A new chapter in your life means a new wardrobe and new decor to match.

12. FaceTime or call an old friend.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
