I love rain days, at least when I am not expected to do anything! There are so many things that you can do on a rainy day that are just better because it is raining. I love the rain. It makes me smile. I am that girl who wants to dance in the rain, as long as its warm! Here are 11 activities I love to do when it rains.

1. Dance

There is just something freeing and energizing about letting lose and dancing. Sometimes you just have to let loose and dance. for one reason or another it is even better when it is raining. It is almost like the rain is washing all of your troubles, stress, and anxiety away.

2. Walk my dog

Rain can be calming and when its warm, I like walking my dog because she does not quite understand rain either and it is really cute, plus its just nice to be just me and her for a little while.

3. Listen to music

Sometimes it is just too cold to dance in the rain so instead, you pump up the music inside and dance all around the house! right? Or at least that is what I do!

4. Read

And other times you need the comfort of other people without having actual other people. In this case, I read. For me, reading is entering another world altogether and I love it!

5. Netflix

Other times, your eyes hurt and you just want to watch. whether its normal T.V., Netflix or Hulu, It all has the same effect.

6. Online Shopping


Now this can be dangerous... I can spend all day shopping online, but problem is I end up spending a lot of money too...

7. Lay in bed all day


Sometimes we just need to sleep, or at least do nothing and the sound of rain can be so relaxing and mind numbing. It is amazing

8. Drive


Driving in the rain can also give you that calming relaxing feeling. soft music, rain pounding on the roof, and an endless country road in front of you.

9. Organize and Clean


There is something about rain that just makes staying in side, cleaning and organizing so much easier to do. Or if your like Monica, you can vacuum your vacuum!

10. Cook or Bake


I love to cook and bake anyhow but, on rain days it goes in over drive. I want warm baked chocolate chip cookies or fresh baked zucchini bread.

11. Go to the Movies

It can be nice to just sit in a cold movie theater, eating popcorn, and wondering if the storm is in the movie or outside!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
