You might be one of those people who just love rain so much that It doesn't ruin your mood or bring you down at all. I am the complete opposite type of person. I've never really liked rain. It's cold, wet, and it makes little speckles on my glasses so I can't see. Everything about rainy days used to just ruin my mood. But then I decided that I should make the most of these days because there seems to be quite a few recently. So here are some ways that you can make the most out of a rainy day.

1. Watch that movie you've been dying to see but have never gotten around to.

I think everyone in the world could agree that rainy days make the perfect movie days. Just snuggle up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and let the movie marathon begin!

2. Tidy up your living space.

I know that cleaning isn't at the top of anyone's fun list but there is no better day to do this chore than a rainy day. You can't go enjoy the outside anyways, so why not get the cleaning done now so you can enjoy the nice weather later? Future you will thank you for doing it now.

3. Read that book you've had sitting on your shelf for months.

Curling up on the couch with a good book is super relaxing and a great way to spend your rainy day!

4. Do something you've always wanted to try, like knitting or scrap booking!

Projects like these are the best for dreary days, and now you have the perfect excuse to stay inside and try it out.

5. Call your mom.

You've been extremely busy and you haven't talked as frequently as she would like. Life is hectic and that's understandable, but take some time out of your day to call mom and check in on how she's doing. I know she'd appreciate it.

6. Catch up on ZZZ's.

We're all busy and we're all running low on sleep. Use the bad weather to take a much needed nap. You'll wake up well rested and rejuvenated and you'll be ready to take on tomorrows perfect weather.

7. Make some cookies!

If you're not a big cookie fan (who isn't???) then you could always make brownies or cupcakes instead. Munching on some tasty baked goods can brighten anyone's rainy day in a flash.

8. Online Shopping.

Use this suggestion sparingly, because we all know how addicting online shopping can be. But at least shopping online spares you from having to run into stores in the pouring rain.

9. You could always go outside and dance in the rain!!

Go ahead, reenact your favorite childhood movie! Let out your inner child and enjoy letting the rain completely soak through your clothes. Consider it your shower for the day. And once you get tired, head on inside, dry off, and relax with a nice cup of hot cocoa.

Now instead of getting upset the next time rain is in the forecast, look at it as a blessing in disguise! Rainy days should never again be wasted days.

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.
