Sitting at home scrolling and scrolling on your phone for hours is something you can only do for so long on a rainy day. So, if it gets boring, so here are some activities you can do:
- Watch movies or binge-watch a TV show
- Read a book
- Clean out your closet and set aside clothes that could be donated
- Rearrange your room
- Head to the mall and walk around or go shopping
- Go to Target and browse
- See if the movie theater is playing any movies you may be interested in
- Bake a special treat or cook a yummy meal
- Build a fort for fun it could bring back childhood memories
- Dance in the rain!
Each of these ideas are very easy to do– even though they may seem stupid or very simple, they are better than just staring at your phone for hours and seeing the same old stuff. Thinking outside of the box can be hard sometimes, but when you put your mind to it you can! Sometimes even sitting in silence and just listening to the rain can be quite relaxing. Plus, at home, you can always snuggle up with a blanket make yourself a hot chocolate or coffee, and enjoy the lazy day.
“I like to go on walks and enjoy the fresh air, to me it feels like a break from being trapped in the house all day,” stated senior Leyna Stephens.
If you are an active person and like being outdoors, then you can try other things like dancing in the rain or going on a brief walk.
“When it rains I sometimes go hill bombing, meaning I go to a big grass hill and take a soft top surfboard or skimboard and ride them down the hill,” said senior Gavin Sowle.
This activity can be a little over the top, but it is something that brings excitement to a rainy day, along with any of the other simple things. Who knows! Maybe you will find a new book you thought you would never like!
