5 Ways To Make The Most Out Of A Rainy Day

With rainy season hitting the summer in full force, it’s difficult to change your beach plans and fun in the sun to something that seems even remotely close to as entertaining. Even in the rain, you can still make the most out of your summer without dipping too deep into your rainy day fund.

1. Create a bucket list.

If you want to make a plan for the days that are sunny throughout the summer, the best way to do so is to make a bucket list of all of the things you want to see, do, or accomplish this summer or in life. You can even get creative and make your bucket list into an excel sheet or a fun poster.


2. Make a home movie theater.

With inventions such as Netflix and Hulu, you don’t even have to leave your house on a rainy day. Instead, push some mattresses together, throw some blankets and pillows down, invite your friends over, pop some popcorn, and have a movie marathon of all of the movies you just never got around to seeing. Maybe even throw in some home videos to remind yourself of your youth.


3. Take advantage of your time to relax.

In other words, treat yourself! Allow yourself to sleep in, make a solid breakfast (maybe even look up a “Tasty” video and get fancy), get your nails done, do a face mask, get a massage, any indoor pampering activity that you wouldn’t do on a sunny day. The rain encourages laziness, so make the most out of this laziness by rewarding yourself in a refreshing way for all of the productive things you do when it’s nice out.


4. Update your favorite playlist.

If your excuse for having to constantly skip your favorite song from 2015 is that you just don’t have time to delete it, you can change that on a rainy day! This is the perfect time to delete the songs you’re constantly skipping over, or building a whole new playlist to jam out to at the beach when it’s sunny again. You can do this by referring to the “Billboard Top 100” list, or take a look at the “Today’s Top Hits” playlists on whatever music medium you subscribe to. Who knows, you just might discover your new favorite song along the way.


5. Clean up your socials.

Does your social media still have mirror selfies from the good old days? It’s ok, I think I still have pictures from the awkward middle school era. It’s around that time when jobs will start stalking your social media accounts, so rainy days are the perfect time to protect your potential bosses and bored friends from seeing any embarrassing pictures and posts you may have posted when you were younger (be sure to screenshot the most memorable posts of course.)



If none of these options sound appealing, you can always act like a child and splash in the puddles, but that one's up to you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
