My biggest issue when it rains is that I never know what to do. I always feel trapped inside and get a little cabin fever.
So, in order to stay away from the ~dreaded~ cabin fever, here are a few ideas for how you can enjoy your day stuck inside.
Enjoy the cold air
It has been a sweltering 80 degrees outside since Move-In week and, I don't know about you, but I'm over it.
I am ready for sweater weather and pumpkin patch photo shoots in ripped jeans and boots so a little rain is A.O.K. with me.
Get in the kitchen
If you are like the Wicked Witch Of The West and can't touch the rain or else you will melt, this is the perfect time to stay in. You don't want to venture out to grab some dinner so it is the perfect time to try out that new recipe that you just found on Pinterest!
Clean
This might not be the most enjoyable activity but if a hurricane is barring down and you are stuck inside for a week, you might as well clean up a bit.
Plus, it gives you something to do.
Catch up on some homework
If you have been so busy with all your outdoor activities and they all became postponed due to the rain this is the perfect time to catch up on some work!
Whether it be figuring out where you're going to live next year or finding a job or simply catching up on lab reports, this is the perfect time to do just that!
Binge watch your favorite shows
Once you have finished all of the work that you have been slacking off on, you can go crazy and do a 28 hour Office marathon.
Game Night!
Bored of just sitting there and doing nothing? Invite some friends over and have a game night! This is literally one of the biggest highlights to living in a dorm!
Laundry
If you have been putting off your laundry and are now down to your last pair of socks then this is the time to do it.
Throw your stuff in the wash, then sit back and watch an episode or two and, bam, you're done.
Order Out
If you don't have any food at home and still don't want to go out in the rain to buy some, today is the day you can order out!
If you've been craving that Chinese food for weeks but didn't have the money, splurge a little since you are stuck inside and treat yourself.
Call your mom
If you have nothing to do, your mom would always enjoy to hear your voice.
Nap
Napping will always be the best thing to do on a rainy day.
