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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
