10 Ways To Beat Those Rainy-Weather Blues

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.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

tv.com

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
