5 Things To Do On A Rainy Summer Day

Recently it has been raining like crazy where I live, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop for the next week. As unfortunate as that is during the summer, when all I really want to do be outside in the sun, I've found there are also a lot of things to do when stuck inside all day. Here's the list I compiled, from my recent experience.

1. Binge a new series, or catch up on an old one

Being stuck inside all day is a perfect time to binge that Netflix show you've been meaning to start, but haven't had the time. Grab some popcorn, curl up on your couch, and get to binging!

2. Watch your friend or family member's favorite movie with them

Giphy

A fun thing to do is watch a friend or family member's favorite movie, especially if you've never seen it before. Chances are, you'll find a new favorite movie, and have some time to bond with someone close to you.

3. Declutter your house

Giphy

You've probably been meaning to clean out your room, or declutter your closet, but always had other things to do. Now that you're stuck inside, it's the perfect time to just get in there and clean everything out. Trust me, you'll feel much better once you do.

4. Read a book, even if you haven't read in a while

Giphy

Even if you're like me, and don't read as much as you should, it's surprisingly fun to pick up a good book and just get lost in it for a few hours. Now that you have the time, you have your chance!

5. Try cooking or baking a new recipe

Giphy

Try making a new recipe, even if you don't cook much. It could be fun to make something even if it doesn't turn out amazing. You can even get your friends or family members to help you out!

Hopefully, this list can help you make your rainy day at least a little more fun!

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
