8 Things to do on a Rainy Day

 Today, I planned to exercise, and then jump in the pool to cool off.  Given that we're in the middle of a dry summer down here in Texas, I thought that my plans would go off smoothly.  Surprise!  Sometimes bad weather strikes without notice (especially at the Colonial Campus!).  So when your plans are ruined by the rain and you're stuck inside, here are a few ways to kill time!

  1. Build a fort out of sheets or newspaper: roll up three sheets of newspaper into three tubes, and staple them together into a triangle (the strongest geometric shape, according to my intro to 3D art professor).  Use triangles to build the biggest fort you can!  It will probably end up looking like an igloo. 
  2. Brew a cup of tea and curl up with a book.
  3. Exercise inside!  Note: Hulu has exercise videos that you can easily do in your living room or bedroom.
  4. Nap, duh.
  5. Paint your nails and toenails.
  6. Cook or bake (queso or red velvet cake, anyone?).
  7. Experiment with hair, make-up, and fashion styles.
  8. Plan: a vacation, a project, a budget, a shopping trip, a recipe, or anything you like!
   I honestly like rainy days, as long as I can stay inside or at least well-covered and dry.  Rain is a great excuse to take a little bit of a break.  Next time it rains, enjoy taking the time to slow down and relax!
