5 Ways To Make The Most Out Of A Rainy Day

With rainy season hitting the summer in full force, it’s difficult to change your beach plans and fun in the sun to something that seems even remotely close to as entertaining. Even in the rain, you can still make the most out of your summer without dipping too deep into your rainy day fund.

1. Create a bucket list.

If you want to make a plan for the days that are sunny throughout the summer, the best way to do so is to make a bucket list of all of the things you want to see, do, or accomplish this summer or in life. You can even get creative and make your bucket list into an excel sheet or a fun poster.


2. Make a home movie theater.

With inventions such as Netflix and Hulu, you don’t even have to leave your house on a rainy day. Instead, push some mattresses together, throw some blankets and pillows down, invite your friends over, pop some popcorn, and have a movie marathon of all of the movies you just never got around to seeing. Maybe even throw in some home videos to remind yourself of your youth.


3. Take advantage of your time to relax.

In other words, treat yourself! Allow yourself to sleep in, make a solid breakfast (maybe even look up a “Tasty” video and get fancy), get your nails done, do a face mask, get a massage, any indoor pampering activity that you wouldn’t do on a sunny day. The rain encourages laziness, so make the most out of this laziness by rewarding yourself in a refreshing way for all of the productive things you do when it’s nice out.


4. Update your favorite playlist.

If your excuse for having to constantly skip your favorite song from 2015 is that you just don’t have time to delete it, you can change that on a rainy day! This is the perfect time to delete the songs you’re constantly skipping over, or building a whole new playlist to jam out to at the beach when it’s sunny again. You can do this by referring to the “Billboard Top 100” list, or take a look at the “Today’s Top Hits” playlists on whatever music medium you subscribe to. Who knows, you just might discover your new favorite song along the way.


5. Clean up your socials.

Does your social media still have mirror selfies from the good old days? It’s ok, I think I still have pictures from the awkward middle school era. It’s around that time when jobs will start stalking your social media accounts, so rainy days are the perfect time to protect your potential bosses and bored friends from seeing any embarrassing pictures and posts you may have posted when you were younger (be sure to screenshot the most memorable posts of course.)



If none of these options sound appealing, you can always act like a child and splash in the puddles, but that one's up to you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
