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

Giphy

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!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
