Rainy weather is something people usually like or don't like. You either wish it would stop raining before it even starts, or you look forward to that downpour the weather forecast is predicting. Whatever your preference may be, there are pros and cons to both. Rain means you have an excuse to stay inside or it could mean you have to walk across campus in the rain. I personally don't like walking in the rain unless I'm prepared with the correct rain gear. I love when it's raining and I can stay inside with a blanket and a book. Here are some things I love to do when there's a nice storm outside.

1. Catch up on some reading.

This is the perfect opportunity to read that book you never have time to read. Put down the school textbooks and read for you! Let your brain take a break from school and enjoy the creativity of a fiction novel.

2. Movie day!

You don't have to feel guilty for staying inside when it's nice and sunny out. If it's raining, you can stay inside all day and nobody will judge you.

3. Catch up on Netflix.

That series you've wanted to finish? Go ahead and knock out a couple episodes while eating a huge bowl of Mac n cheese.

4. Catch up on homework.

Yes, we do a lot of homework anyway, but again, if it's raining outside, you have no reason to feel guilty for staying inside. Hit the books and get a bunch of work done for the week. Then you can enjoy the week stress free.

5. Catch up on sleep.

Rain = perfect nap weather

6. Catch up with your family.

Go home for the weekend or make a call home. Catch up with your family and see what's happening back home.

7. Clean your room.

Personally, rain days make me want to clean my room and catch up on laundry. A clean room makes me feel ready to start the week of classes.

8. Clean out your closet.

Go through all your clothes and pull out the ones you haven't worn in awhile. If you haven't worn something in over a year, donate it to GoodWill or a charity. You're helping others while cleaning out your closet.

Whether you like the rain or not, there's plenty of things you can do to make a rainy day a little more enjoyable and productive!
