If you're anything like me, rainy days are your favorite kind of day. Especially rainy days that happen to be in the fall. Here are some activities to do on those rainy days to make them better.

1. Sleep

I know what you are thinking, "How productive." Right? Let me tell you, though, sleeping on a rainy day is the best kind of sleep you will get. The sleep is so much deeper and more relaxing. It's even better when you don't have a set time to get up.

2. Read a Book

Dust off that book that has been sitting on the shelf for months and open it up. Sit by the window and start reading it as you listen to the pitter patter of the rain on the roof and window. You'll get so lost in the novel that you'll forget you will be inside all day.

3. Watch Movies

Turn on some Netflix or throw in a DVD and have a movie marathon with someone, or even just yourself. Don't forget the snacks and drinks. You deserve it, baby.

4. Sit and Watch the Rain

If you have a porch, sit on it. If you don't, sit by a window and open it wide. Smell some fresh air and look at the peaceful scene of the rain hitting the pavement.

5. Listen to Music

Put on that album you haven't listened to yet, or put your playlist on shuffle. Just sit there while the music and the rain take you to your happy place.


6. Try Some New Recipes

All the times you wanted to try something different for supper or dessert will be paid off today. While everything is getting wet from the rain outside, you can start making those different recipes and perfecting them. At your next get together, your dish will be the most complimented.


7. Do some crafting and DIYing

Dig out that tote of your crafting supplies and start those projects! You know you are dying to try those Pinterest ideas you have had pinned on your boards for months.

8. Play in the rain

Bring out your inner child one of these rainy days and play in the rain. Jump in puddles, play in the mud, dance, catch raindrops in your hands. There is endless fun.

9. Game night

Gather your family and friends in one room together and grab those games collecting dust in the closet. Have some old school fun. There will be so many laughs and memories that you will want to do this every week.

10. Catch up on cleaning

I know, I know. That's the last thing you want to do on a day inside. Unless your sick and twisted. Who knows, you may even like it (probably not).


Now that you know what I do on rainy days and that I obviously LOVE them. Except the cleaning part, because ew. What do you do on your rainy days?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
