20 Reasons We Love Rainy Sundays

If your life is anything like mine, you're always in a hustle. Between being a full-time student, a part of clubs and activities, sometimes having to be in the library a little too late, and still managing a social life doesn't leave a lot of time to just take a breather from it all. When it does happen, it's a blessing, and more often than not, happens to fall on my favorite undervalued occasion, a rainy Sunday.

Rainy Sundays are a blessing in disguise. When it's rainy, the world seems to quiet down and hunker down inside. Coupling this with the typically less busy, recovery day from a hectic week that Sunday is creates a beautiful combination that many don't appreciate. The day is welcoming you to do so much without doing much at all.

1. Rainy Sundays call for sleeping in. The sound of rain is like a lullaby for big kids.

2. Rainy Sundays call for a long hot shower. Or at least longer than your usual half hour.

3. Rainy Sundays call for no makeup. Not that there's ever really a need for it.

4. Rainy Sundays call for online shopping. Go ahead and splurge, the day needs some sunshine.

5. Rainy Sundays call for over-sized sweatshirts. And some fleece-lined leggings wouldn't hurt either.

6. Rainy Sundays call for watching a full season on Netflix. Or even two if it's that kind of day.

7. Rainy Sundays call for hot cocoa. Or any preferred hot beverage, really.

8. Rainy Sundays call for candles. Grab your go-to scent and cuddle up.

9. Rainy Sundays call for painting your nails. Go ahead and do three coats, you've got all day.

10. Rainy Sundays call for YouTube tutorials. Which you most likely won't be able to do on yourself.

11. Rainy Sundays call for a good book. There's no shame in reading it cover to cover either.

12. Rainy Sundays call for slippers. Real shoes are out of the question.

13. Rainy Sundays call for a face mask. Always exfoliate when you get the chance.

14. Rainy Sundays call for a mellow Spotify station. Cue the John, Colbie, Corinne, and Jack.

15. Rainy Sundays call for messy buns. Honestly the only practical hair style for Sundays.

16. Rainy Sundays call for too many layers of blankets. If you aren't on the brink of sweating, add more.

17. Rainy Sundays call for lengthy Pinterest browsing. Go ahead and pin your future, plan ahead.

18. Rainy Sundays call for lots of snacks. Maintain variety so you can't say you ate the whole bag alone.

19. Rainy Sundays probably should call for catching up on some homework. Probably, but eh.

20. Rainy Sundays call for letting time slow down for just a little while. Soak it all in while you can.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
