It's June and currently 55 degrees on Long Island. Coming from the warm Atlanta weather, the still frigid weather in New York was a bit of a shock. My friends and I had planned so many things for a fun summer, but most of them required the weather participating. My luck has been pretty terrible because the only days that the sun has come out I have been inside all day at work. Since this weather is going to persist for at least a couple of more days, here's my top things to do on a summer rainy day!

1. Movie day!!!

There's nothing like watching an entire movie series in one sitting and with bad weather outside, you have the perfect excuse to.

2. Open the book you have been meaning to read

Last semester's reading mostly consisted of cramming information, so it's nice to be able to read without having to feel like a human sponge absorbing facts.

3. Starting a new TV show (or re-watching an old favorite)

With all the great TV that has come out and is continuing to come out this year, it's the perfect opportunity to finally get the TV inside jokes all your friends are making.

4. Go to the beach (if there's one near you)

This may seem like a strange idea, but there's a unique solemn beauty in a completely empty beach that's being washed by rain

5. Take a hike

Okay so you probably want to take a hike if the rain stops and the humidity permits, but you get to see a super green forest without being sunburned.

6. Catch up on the chores you have been putting off

This one might be a little personal to me, but my mom would be happy to know that I'm including this one on the list.

7. FaceTime all of your college friends who are probably in better weather than you

I miss you guys!!!!
