What to do when it’s a rainy day but you don’t feel like going out

Mia5 Comments

It’s finally summer and you’re excited that it’s gonna be hot and sunny. You can’t wait to get to the beach. But damn it’s rains outside. What to do now? Take a walk in the rain? Nah, don’t feel like it. What to do then, it’s summer and it’s time for joy. But the rain is not what you wanted.

Here’s a few tips of what to do when it’s a rainy day and you don’t feel like going out

#Listen to music
Not just listen to your favorite tunes. Why not sing along to the lyrics? It doesn’t matter if you’re not the best singer in the world. If you sing out of tune, it doesn’t matter. No one is there to hear it anyway. Just the feeling singing along to a great song is good for your spirit.

#Watch videos on Youtube
Whatever takes your fancy. If it’s those popular cat videos or Youtubers. Or if you’re like me, watch old TV comedy shows that you used to watch on TV. Maybe there’s a video you remembered watching once but it was ages ago. Why not try to search for it again? Youtube is full of old and new videos. Just take your pick. I spend hours and hours there if I’m bored.

#Watch a DVD
Forget Netflix and such. If you have DVD’s you haven’t watched in ages. A rainy day is a good excuse to watch them. Nothing is better than put a disk in your DVD player and press play. Not forgetting those extras if there are any. Maybe you have a DVD with your favorite series, why not watch it again? That’s the reason you bought it so you can watch it again, right? Watching them on Netflix is not the same.

#Read a book or write a story
Sitting in your favorite armchair, reading your book. What’s more relaxing than that? If you’re not a book reader, you can start to write a story of your own. It doesn’t even have to be a story. You can write anything you like.

#Play board games or playing cards
Playing games on a tablet or a computer, is a lonely business. Spending time with your family (if you have one) playing board games is a social event. It’s a good way having a conversation and spend time away from modern technology. Board games can also be played among friends. If you’re alone, playing solitare with real playing cards, is much more fun. You can also search on the internet for new card games to learn. Just used the search word: card games for one. Or just “card games”

These tips are also good for boredom. If anybody else have more tips on what to do on a rainy day, feel free to reply to this blog post. So what do you do on a rainy day or when you’re bored?

What am I going to do with you?

There comes a time when you feel like you’re too lazy to do anything. You feel like no one really cares what you do. You try to find the motivation but you can’t find a solution. You might even get depressed for a while. You try to concentrate on other things. But even those things are not good enough. You don’t know what you’re doing wrong since no one seems to pay attention. Deep inside you know someone does care but still it feels like there’s no point.

That’s how I feel about this blog. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. I used to have a lot of subjects to write about but now they just sound boring. Not even I would want to read it. I’ve thought maybe I should write about personal things. But then it would be like any other blog and I don’t want to be like everybody else. Who would want to read about my boring life anyway. There’s nothing in it worth writing about. I’m an introvert and I rather not talk about private things. I’m also a Finn and we don’t make a lot of noise about ourselves.

I don’t know if people actually read my blog. The traffic seems to have calmed down. Maybe it’s because it’s summer and people are outside. But also because I haven’t written much lately either. That’s where I come to the motivation part. I don’t know where I want this blog to go. I feel like I’m alone with my thoughts. Maybe people just doesn’t like the same things I do. The same with my other blog But that’s probably because it’s kind of new and maybe people just don’t read fan fiction. It would be nice though to get some reaction from people from time to time.

The same with this blog. Compared to other blogs I mostly get likes but that’s alright. At least that’s something. When I started this blog 3 years ago I didn’t even think I would get over 200 followers. For me that’s a lot. It’s about quality, not quantity. I don’t need a lot of followers to feel special. That’s for people in their teens who still have low self-esteem and wants attention.
I still want this blog to be about things I like. But I also wish it would be more interesting to others. Now it’s just me writing and wishing if only someone would just give something back a.k.a comments or likes. I have few ideas but they always turn to bad one’s. I shouldn’t really stress about what others think. It’s my blog after all and I should still keep it up. But I need to change it for my own good. If I find my own blog boring, how would I think everybody else would feel.

I did it my way but am I good enough

Today I graduated from Helsinki Design School in photography. 10 months achievements and this is the proof. Whatever is gonna happen, I did at least something instead of just staying at home and do nothing. I might not become a pro but at least I’ve learned new stuff. That’s what life is about.

Even though we had great teachers who are pro’s, it doesn’t mean I’ve learned to become a better photographer. This diploma might not help to get me a job. There were much better photographers than me. I’m not ever sure I want to become one. I thought I was passionate about photography but during this school I realised, maybe I’m not good enough to do this for a living. Maybe I should just stick being an amateur.

I’m a little disappointed with this school. I didn’t get any motivation from the teachers. I never got the answer if I have what it takes. I also feel it was too Helsinki orientated. For example where you can find internships. Not where I live. It’s a no everywhere. It’s not really motivating when you can’t get any. It was also a lot about studio photography which was indeed interesting but that’s something I don’t want to do. I thought I would become more excited about photography but it was the opposite. Something was missing but I don’t know what it is. Still it was worth the money spent.

All in all. I’m glad I applied for this education and got in. I met some nice people. Unfortunately, I probably won’t see them again. That’s something I don’t cry about. They were just a ship passing by. At least I don’t have to wake up early to travel to Helsinki anymore. Time to enjoy this ‘great’ achievement. Let’s worry about the future tomorrow.
