The weekend is a time for relaxation, excitement and having fun. On a sunny Saturday, you might normally go to the beach or go out with friends, but when it's rainy out, what do you do? I know that I have a hard time figuring out what to do on dreary days. Here are a few ideas to make your drab weekend more lively:
1. Don’t be afraid to venture out
Even if it's cold or rainy, exploring outdoors with friends can still be fun. If you typically stay in on days like these, it can be a new adventure that might lead to newfound interests.
2. Have a movie marathon
Invite your closest friends over and have a movie marathon. You can make some popcorn and get some snacks and candy. Just enjoy each other’s company!
3. Cook with friends
Invite your friends over and see what you can come up with together. Make a scrumptious meal and you might even discover a new favorite.
4. Play games
Generally speaking, we don’t play games as much as we used to. We are busy and our lives revolve more around parties, social media and discovering exotic experiences, but sometimes it's nice to just crack open a board game.
5. Have a spa day
With all of the stress we endure during the week, it's nice to just take some time to relax. Invite some friends over for a spa day and pamper yourselves.
6. Catch up on your work
As a college student, I always have a backlog of assignments. Take the time to catch up on it; you won’t regret it later.
7. Catch up on your sleep
Sleep is a necessity of life, but many of us get too few hours of sleep each night. Take the rainy day to catch up on your sleep, and you’ll feel more relaxed than ever.
8. Find a new hobby
If you’ve ever been interested in doing something, but you’ve never had the time to start, use today to look into it. Maybe you’ve wanted to start drawing or painting, but you’ve never had the time. Look for inspiration from the rainy day to ignite your new hobby.
9. Read a book
Reading is a great way to relax and free your mind, but many of us lack the time to do so. Curl up in bed with a book you’ve wanted to read.
A rainy day doesn’t have to be boring and it doesn’t have to ruin your weekend. Find new activities to keep yourself busy and even spend time with friends.
