10 Things You Need To Do This Summer

Summer is finally here and there are so many things to do. Even though you might be busy and moving around all of the time, be sure to make time for yourself and enjoy summer. Here are 10 things I believe you should do to help you make the most out of summer.

1. Sleep In

This is easy, do this simply because you can, and you deserve to.

2. Enjoy the Outdoors

Summer is all about great weather and catching some sun. So, take some time to sit outside and soak up the beauty of the outdoors.

3. Watch a Sunset/Sunrise

Summer is known for making the days seem longer. Summer seems to make the city lit up by a bright sunset and nothing seems more beautiful. I highly recommend taking the time to go and enjoy the bright colors of the sky.

4. Go Out

Take some time to go out and have fun. Summer implies fewer responsibilities, right? Just act as though you are treating yourself to all of the hard work you did throughout the past year.

5. Spend Time With Family

You should always make time for family, and now that summer is here you shouldn't have any excuse as to why you can't make time for them. Family is important and you can find so many different activities to take part in while the warm weather and longer days are here.

6. Go all out on the Fourth of July

This one just seems fun and you get to see some amazing temporary artwork in the sky. So many different options of fireworks exist and they all are a little different. (I can't be the only one who enjoys the smell of fireworks)

7. Cook Out

Go grill a slab of ribs, some steaks, or anything your heart desires. Summer is the perfect time to get the grill heated up and take on the task of being your backyard Gordon Ramsey. (I don't recommend sending Gordon Ramsey a picture of your food because he will roast you, just watch the popular video on his tweet responses)

8. Go cruising

Hop in your car and just drive around. Listen to music and enjoy your existence and the world you live in.

9. Go to a Music Festival (or Concert)

Music makes everything better. Going to a music festival or concert will brighten your mood. This will make summer memorable and so much fun. Besides, you will be surrounded by people who also love music and are there for the same reason that you are. Dance your heart out and live in the moment.

10. Travel

Is it just me who occasionally wants to grab my keys and just drive and see where the road takes me? Summer is the perfect opportunity to take time and plan (or not plan) a trip somewhere. Take a vacation and make time for you and the important people in your life. Go see new places and soak in the different views around the world.



BONUS

11. Attack Your Bucket List

Now is the perfect time to knock some things off of your bucket list. So, be adventurous and make the most out of summer while making the most out of your life. Face your fears, do things you have never done before and make sure to enjoy everything that comes your way.

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.
