Finally college is over and everyone is starting to settle into their summer. There is one question that everyone is asking themselves though. What should I do this summer? There are endless possibilities that the warm weather brings you and your friends. So here are 10 ideas to help make your summer more fun wherever you go over the next four months.

1. Go to a music festival.

Summer is the best time to get together with a bunch of people and just jam out at a concert or music festival. It’s fun that can go on all night.

2. Road trip with your besties.

Grab some friends, hop in a car, and see where you go. Not knowing is the best thing and you can make memories with your friends that will last a life time.

3. Go and chill on the beach.

Pull out a towel and just lay in the sand, or go and jump and swim in the ocean. The beach is the perfect place for a summer getaway. It’s a place to just relax and catch some of those summer rays.

4. Have an all-day Netflix movie marathon.

Sometimes just laying around all day can be a good thing. Pull up Netflix and watch your favorite show that you’ve missed while you were at school.

5. Make a DIY day.

Take some time this summer and get crafty. Grab your friends and make a project that you can wear or something for your dorm room. See what artistic part of you comes out.

6. Do something you’ve never done before.

Doing something out of the ordinary can always be scary, but fun at the same time. Whether it’s trying a new food or a new sport or going skydiving it will be something you haven’t done before. Try it, you may surprise yourself.

7. Sleep under the stars.

Go on a camping trip that is somewhere beautiful. Take a few night and connect with nature with your friends. Sleeping under the stars is something everyone should do once. Plus who doesn’t love a campfire and s’mores?

8. Have a BBQ with all your friends.

Just get permission and don’t burn down the house. Get out the grill, make some good food, open the pool, and turn up the tunes for a fun night that everyone can enjoy.

9. Make every second count.

Do everything you possible can to make this summer count. Once it’s gone it can’t return which is the sad part about summer. Go on adventures with your friends, meet new people and try new things, and most of all just have fun.

10. Take a picture every day this summer.

Take a picture at the end of every day this summer to commemorate every memory you make. Make a Flipagram Instagram video at the very end to look back and remember all the memories you made.

The best times are with friends and when you’re doing something fun that everyone loves. Summer only lasts a short time, four months to be exact. So make the most out of it with every memory possible.

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.
