“Rain,
rain, go away.
Come again another day.
Little Johnny wants to play.
Rain, rain, go away.”
Rainy days, they are usually associated
to sad days or boring days. Why? Well, our work is usually done out doors or
maybe what we find fun is running under the sun with our friends. Personally, I
dislike rainy days as well. My hair puffs up more than usual and I become
lazier and sleepier. I also have this problem with my stomach when it rains. It
will always ache and I have cravings for food. Being an optimist, I just
made the best out of the weather. Whenever it rains, I bring out my to do list
for rainy days. Yes, for some odd reason I like keeping to do lists. Well, I
want to share my lists to you guys just in case you're dying in your house out
of boredom.
Things to do during rainy days
1. Movie
marathon - I love watching movies during rainy days especially chick
flicks, I'm such a hopeless romantic. Well, I love sitting in our living room
with tons of stuffed toys and pillows around me and a blanket to keep me
warm and cozy. I usually make hot coco and scavenge for food in our
kitchen. I'm a very emotional person for some odd reason so if you're the same
as me I advise you to watch sad stories somewhere private so that people
won't tease you or something.
2. Experiment
in the kitchen- I have this thing for cooking actually especially during
rainy seasons since I like eating a lot. I like searching up random
recipes which has ingredients which I can find here at home. So,
search up my little mushrooms! Have fun!
3. Read a good book- How many days or months have you
actually read a book? No, I'm not talking about those heavy text
books or those things you use for school. I'm talking about books that actually
interest you. Do you miss it? Well, it’s the perfect time for you to catch up with
your favorite series or book and just chill. Make a cup of coffee or tea
and relax.
4. Make
origami- I find this activity rather calming. It helps me think and it
gives me a sense of achievement when I finish making one. I actually made a
jar for it. I placed it in the jar so it won't get ruined and someday I'm going
to give this to someone who I think deserves it .No not romantically
guys... jeez.
5. Do your indoor hobbies- Well, if you’re a kind of
person who likes making up songs, stories or poems, this is your chance to
do it! I know that a lot of us are busy with schoolwork or work that's why
we sometimes neglect our little hobbies. Well, I think this is the perfect time
to enjoy yourself. Let go and do what you love!
6. Do work ahead of time- Well, I don't know if this
applies to everyone but I personally like this. Instead of wasting your
time doing absolutely nothing, why not do some of your school work or some of
your paper works? It saves you a lot of time actually. If you finish ahead of
time, you can relax and not cram next time. Also, when you finish early,
you can go out and party or do something when the weather clears up.
7. Play a game- If you have siblings or relatives with
you, Ask them if they want to play or such. This can be your family
bonding. In our generation right now, it is almost impossible for families to
have family time. So, why not take advantage of this weather and bond and play.
You can play hide and seek (if your house is big enough), Twister, treasure
hunt, cards and the like.
8. Play under
the rain- I personally love this. I love running under the rain and do
cartwheels and stuff. I feel like a kid again (I'm a teenager, just so you
guys know) who doesn't give a care about the world. In this task, it is
better if you are with friends and family. Play tag, aim water guns
at each other or just walk under the rain and jump on puddles. It doesn't
come often so enjoy the weather and make the most out of it.
9. Pamper
yourself- It is raining and you have nothing to do? Well, girl! it's time
for you to get pampered. Go get a bubble bath or put on that facial mask you
like then do your nails. Girl, you deserve it! This is also applicable to
guys.
10. Party on
your own- Is the weather getting you down? Well worry not! Put on some
lively music, get some chips from your cabinet and make your own drinks.
Now, you can start partying! You don't need a lot of people to be with
actually. You can do this on your own or maybe you can call up some
friends to come over. The more the merrier!
Well, that's my list. It is not much
but I hope this helped you guys out. Remember; Make the best out of the
weather. Don't view the rainy day as something negative but instead, look at
the brighter side of things. You may never know, this day might be even better
than the days when the sun is out. Well, enjoy guys!
Love,
Gabby
