Yay!!! No more class! Time to kick back and enjoy the summer vibes with your friends. Although summer is literally the greatest time of the year, the unrelenting heat can sometimes bring you down. Here are 11 super easy and very fun ways to beat back the summer heat!

1. Have a water gun fight!

What says summer more than busting out the old water guns and pretending you're in elementary school again!?

2. Head to the beach!

Having a beach day is the perfect way to forget that you're legitimately dying from the heat! The cool ocean breeze and refreshing water is just what you need.


3. Make yourself a nice refreshing drink!

A nice, cool, homemade drink is just what the doctor ordered on a sweaty summer day. A pitcher of ice cold lemonade can work miracles on a hot person.


4. A dip in the pool!

Similar to the beach, the pool will provide the nice energizing feel of cool water. If you or your friends have one, you won't even have to drive too far!

5. Going ice skating!

There probably won't be any outdoor ice skating, but some indoor skating is a great way to cool down while staying active!

6. Lock yourself in a freezer!

You simply won't be hot when you're locked in a 30 degree Fahrenheit walk in freezer!

7. Eat a few pints of ice cream!

That will really make you feel so relaxed. If you're not in a chilled out food coma by the end, you're doing it wrong.

8. Take a nice bath in liquid nitrogen!

It's impossible to feel too hot when your skin is freezing on contact and you're completely numb.

9. Go to Antarctica for a vacation!

I hear it's a little bit cooler there, so you won't feel so hot. Also, there are penguins over there, so that's cool.

10. Stand in front of the fan for a few hours!

Your voice will sound super cool too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
