Idleness is never an option on a rainy day.

When the rain starts to fall, only a thought resides in every student's mind: NO CLASSES! Well, I'd be hypocrite if I'd deny that I myself, had the same thought. Every student can't escape that feeling and it's not good. Suspension of classes is a great opportunity for the students to stop and rest for awhile. Well, if that's the case, then it's good. But if your intention is to suffice your idleness and do worthless things during your break, then that's just a waste of time. Some say that because of the weather, they can't go outside to perform their tasks but that's not a reason for us to be idle, there are tons of things that we can do at home to stay productive.

We can start with the things that don't require us to go outside. I, for one started to cope up with my assignments, projects and chores. Well, as a college student, the word "REST" is nonexistent. Every single minute counts, and if we'll idle ourselves, then we won't thrive in our field of course. And that's actually the highlight of my one-week vacation. I started some of my projects and assignments. Though the cool air is really tempting—how I always wanted to lie down and take a nap that would eventually turn out to be a full 6-hour sleep—but that didn't stop me. I'd rather do my assignments than go out and wrestle with the angry weather.

Let's not just think of ourselves. We might have done the things that we need, but how about others? We had a long week and we thought only for our sake. We should have thought of others as well. Yes, we can't go outside and help them firsthand but we can always be humble enough to say our prayers for them. Pray sincerely for their safety. And later on send them our donations. We're lucky enough to still have our beds dry and sleep soundly, to still enjoy light in our homes and to still have food on our tables. I'm so grateful that my community were not affected by the bad weather, we are all so blessed. Really, what to do on a rainy day? Do your tasks and think of others. Do things for yourself, and for others as well. Idleness is never an option.
