10 Things To Do Before Going Back To School
Brinkley Walser Stoner

It's finally August, and school is coming faster than we know it. After spending a lazy summer, we don't always get to do everything we want to before it ends. So, here are 8 awesome, cheap, and fun things to do before you go back to school!

1. Have a get together with your friends!

It's always fun to be with your friends, or even watching Friends on Netflix with friends. You can go out for a movie, laser tag, dinner, or whatever you want! Don't forget to capture your memories with a group photo!

2. Go for a pool day...

Summer can be very hot, so why not cool down before school begins? Either go somewhere in town, or go swimming in your backyard. You can pack a delicious lunch to go with your day and bring your friends to tag along!

3. And get super tanned!

Being pale and fair is good too, but who doesn't want to be tan for the next school year? If you have any farmer tan lines, then now is the best time to get rid of them! Don't forget sunscreen!

4. Get something sweet!

Go out and get your final ice cream cone, frozen yogurt, or anything you desire! As long as it is sweet and you're not watching your weight, then all is good! Right?

5. If you've been working all summer, then you may want to get a massage.

Ahh...a massage. A great way to relax and to become a new person for the school year. Get those knots out before more come your way!

6. You may want to start getting school supplies.

I know, you probably don't want to think about it yet, but school is coming close! Make sure you know what you need with all your favorite color(s) and designs before they all run out!

7. Then maybe a new wardrobe!

Who doesn't love shopping? I know I do! Why not go back to school with your sweet tan and new awesome clothes? Maybe your style has changed since last year...you never know till you go!

8. Get people together and have a bonfire.

Bonfires are the best gatherings throughout the summer, so why not plan one yourself? Get people you know together and celebrate with food, games, and s'mores!

9. A marathon movie night!

When school comes, you probably won't be staying up as much, right? So find your favorite movies or series and enjoy a night of entertainment for free! You don't have your favorite movies, then I suggest your local library, Netflix, or if your cable, movies on demand.

10. Don't forget to have a family night though.

For students who are going to back to college far away, I especially suggest for you to have a family night. Play games, make a meal together or go out for dinner, or do any activities you love doing as a family. You'll definitely miss them, so be with them as much as you can!

Enjoy the rest of your summer and good luck for the next school year!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
