Rainy days in New York continue to leave us with, well… just Neflix (which I’m not complaining about.) This is because we mostly walk everywhere and it's nearly impossible to spend time outside when it’s raining. However, here are a few things to do if you ever feel like giving "Grey’s Anatomy" a rest on a rainy day:

1. Paris Café

One of my favorite little restaurant and bar's in the Financial District is Paris Café, where you get to feel like you’ve escaped NYC for a bit. And with impeccable views of the East River, you can enjoy a meal by the water while being sheltered from the rain!

2. Joe & the Juice

One of my favorite things to do when the weather is a drag in New York is to bring a friend (or just my laptop) and sit in a coffee shop. You can meet the most beautiful people in coffee shops and just truly relax and enjoy yourself. This light and fun atmosphere leaves you with so many options. You can get a fresh squeezed juice, smoothie, or amazing coffee and espresso. They even have a photobooth that will leave you and your friends entertained for hours!

3. The MET or MoMa

Explore a Museum. New York has so many amazing museums to spend the day in. The MET is definitely my favorite, and the more time I spend there, the more I love it. Another great museum is the MoMA, which also has great food, too!

4. Battery Park Regal Cinemas

New York has various movie theatres and also little theatres that show independent films. My go-to movie theatre is Battery Park Regal Cinemas right on the Hudson River. There is so much offered by a movie theatre on a rainy day!

5. Broadway!

I never regret dropping the money for some good entertainment. TodayTix is a great app for finding cheap show tickets.

6. New York Public Library

This may sound nerdy, but the New York Public Library is a great place to go when you just want to grab a book and relax, but also do something super New York-y. It is beautiful and easy to appreciate the architecture and you almost feel like you are getting away for a little bit.

7. Chelsea Galleries

There are so many art galleries in Chelsea that you can just walk into and get some inspiration on a rainy day.

8. Izakaya MEW Happy Hour!

New York never fails to provide us with an abundance of happy hour options in any neighborhood. For sushi lovers, this basement midtown sushi restaurant, Izakaya MEW, has happy hour from 6-8:00 p.m. every day. Perfect for a rainy day when there’s nothing better to do!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
