Three days of rain

The weather forecasts call for three days of rain in a row. So that got me thinking about things to do on a rainy day. These could be used for you as a college student, or even for your children, with a few adjustments.

1. Bake cookies and give some to your family or friends. Everyone likes cookies.

2. Have a Film Festival at Home. Pick movies on a similar theme, time period or all with the same actor or director and see what differences and similarities you fins. For example: WWII--rent Schindler's list, Saving Private Ryan and Bridge over the River Kwai and Stalag 17. or for Civil War, rent Glory, Gettysberg, Gone with the Wind and Shenandoah. For Meg Ryan, rent When Harry Met Sally, You've got Mail and Kate and Leopold. for movies by the director Hayao Miyazaki, try Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service.


3. Play Scrabble with anyone else who doesn't feel like getting wet.

4. Come to the library and check out two books: one related to a class you are taking and one just for fun. Then read them.
