Spring has officially begun and that means that the spring rain is also headed our way. I am not a very big fan of the rain because I feel like I have to stay cooped up inside all day but I guess that doesn't really always have to be a bad thing. You can open a window and listen to the patters of the rain from the comfort of the inside of your dry home.

1. Curl up and watch Netflix

My favorite show right now has to be "On My Block." There's 10 episodes, each 30 minutes, and I highly recommend it. (@ Netflix please renew it for another season.)

2. Grab a good book

Sadly, I haven't read a book just for my own pleasure this entire year, besides when sitting on the floor of the airport. A rainy day is the perfect excuse to get back into the book you picked up once and then forgot about.

3. Get some cleaning done

Of course this isn't something that would be on the top of the list of things to do, but it's going to have to get done and would you rather do it now or when it's a sunny spring day?

4. Make a playlist

I have playlists for the most random things, from cleaning to driving. Being stuck inside is a perfect time to start looking for some new music.

5. Go to a museum

Yes, this requires you to go outside for a bit but you'll be in the shelter of the museum for most of it.

6. Shop...online

I do this all the time anyway, might as well pass the time when it's rainy out by doing it then too.

7. Plan things you want to do when it's nice out

There's no better time to start planning for what you want to do outside, when you're stuck inside.

With a combination of some of these things, a rainy day won't seem too bad in the end.
