Whenever it's raining, we usually get down and out, but why not make it a time of productivity and fun?

Baking

Everybody loves a fresh batch of cookies, so why not try a new recipe?

Read a book

Is there a book you've been trying to read, but you just haven't had the time? Try starting it when it rains.

Netflix/Hulu

Finish binge watching that TV show, or start a new show that has been on your list for a while.

Clean

No one likes to clean, but when you're stuck inside on a rainy day, why not get it done then? Turn on some music and get to cleaning! Try a task that no one ever likes doing like cleaning out the fridge or dusting the blinds

Relax and take time for yourself

Take a nap or a bubble bath. Sit and enjoy the sound of the rain hitting your windows. Paint your nails, try that new face mask, or sit in your PJ's all day.

Plan ahead

Use this rainy day to plan for your next big adventure, project, or month. Plan out your work schedule, school schedule, homework schedule, or anything that you've been meaning to be more organized about.

Shopping

Who says you have to stay in when it's raining? Use this day to go shopping and treat yourself to a new outfit or some new makeup products. Everyone needs a shopping day every now and then.

Game night

Invite your friends over, or just have a game night with your family. Pull out all of the board games, card games, and any other games you have.

Plan your outfits for the next week

Take this time to pick out your outfits and save you some time in the mornings for the next week.

Movie marathon

Start a movie series, or just pick out lots of movies that you want to watch. Pop some popcorn and watch them all afternoon long.

Dance

Turn on your favorite music and dance like no one is watching. Have a dance party with friends or have one by yourself.

What do you do when it rains?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
