10 Ways To Beat Those Rainy-Weather Blues

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.

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.

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.
