10 Things You Should Do This Summer

Summer is a great season. It's finally warm, there's no school, you can sleep late, ice cream, pools, there's no school, you can basically do whatever you want to do. Here's 10 things you should do this summer.

1. Sleep.

Sleep is underrated. It relaxes you and it's restful. It also builds your brain back up from the stress of the day and stores away that day's memories. Sleep more. You have the time.

2. Have a water fight.

You're never too old to break out the water balloons and the spray guns. It's a fun way to cool off and blow off some steam at the same time. And it can be epic.

3. Go to as many concerts as you can.

You'll never have as much fun with a group of strangers than you will at a concert. The music's blasting and you're dancing with your group of friends. There's a reason post-concert depression exists- you're supposed to have more fun than you're used to having!

4. Eat as much ice cream as you can.

Why not? It's summer and ice cream is delicious. Unless you're lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy. In that case, go eat a freeze pop.

5. Stay in contact with your friends.

While only some of us are leaving for college, we still go AWOL during the summer. Text your friends every once in awhile. Hang out. Go get ice cream or go to a concert. And if you are going away to college, make some new friends on your college's Facebook page and keep up with them!

6. Actually read your summer reading list.

Unless it's Huckleberry Finn- because no one can get through all of that incorrect grammar. Seriously, don't. You're welcome.

7. Get a summer job.

It gets you out of the house and you get some extra spending money. You can buy some concert tickets, save up for a car or put it away for college. And it's good to have on your resume.

8. Have a picnic.

Yeah, it's cliche but why not? It's summer. Have you ever actually gone on a picnic? Grab some friends and go to the park.

9. Go to the beach.

Each, let's go get away. Again, cliche, but who doesn't want to go to the beach? ...probably vampires and witches, but if you are neither, go on and have a good time!

10. Travel somewhere.

It could be fun to spend a few weeks someplace that isn't home. And since you're on vacation anyway, maybe change the scenery?

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.
