Five Things to Do on Rainy Days

Hi everyone!

It's rained basically every day for the past two weeks in Atlanta, and when it's not raining it's ridiculously hot and humid, so I've been finding ways to entertain myself indoors. I usually go ride in the mornings, then maybe lay by the pool or go to lunch, but it always seems to be raining by three o'clock, so I have to find something to do inside. Here's how I've been spending my past few days!

1. Learn to make perfect Quick Grits -- my Mamma makes amazing grits...it's actually the food I'm going to miss the most next year! Quick grits made with water just aren't as creamy and delicious as Mamma's, but hers are not good for you and take a while to make, so we figured out how to tweak the Quick Grits recipe a bit to make them tastier: substitute the water for milk and cream! For example, if the box calls for 1 cup of water, instead add one half cup of milk and one half cup of cream to the dry grits. Almost as good as Mamma's and way easier!
2. Learn to do laundry -- Okay, I actually learned how to do laundry a while ago (Mamma's been making me do my own for months now), but if I hadn't learned, rainy days seem like a perfect time to do so!
3. Clean out your room -- I love cleaning my room in the rain! I have a bunch of windows in my room, so I can hear the rain outside, which I've always found super relaxing. Besides, there's if there's nothing better to do, why not reorganize?
4. Make a photo album -- I got a super cute Lilly Pulitzer photo album, and I've been filling it up with my favorite pictures from high school! It'll look really cute on my desk, and I can't wait to look back with my friends from high school!
5. Relax -- Think about it: I've only got 15 days left in my house! I've been soaking up as much time as I can laying in my own bed, showering without shoes on, and playing with my dog!

I think I've been mostly productive! Any other pre-college to-do's I'm missing?

Have a lovely day!
