Now that school is over and summer has started, us students get to have the freedom we've been dreaming about all semester long. I'm pretty sure that at least half of the college student population has had or will have these thoughts this summer.

1. I'm sleeping for a week.

The second I get home, I don't want to move from my bed for the next week. This is the prime time for me to catch up on the sleep that I never got during the spring semester. Don't talk to me, don't make plans with me, and DO NOT wake me up at all.

2. FOOD.

Finally some good food. If there is a family event coming up, you better believe that I'm going to be packing leftovers for the next week and will be eating everything. Also, this is the perfect time for mom and/or dad to make some nice home-cooked meals (cough, cough, Mom).

3. I need a job.

If I'm planning to hang out with friends, I need to probably get a job. Not to mention, getting a head start on paying rent for next semester's apartment would be best. There's nothing like a nice flow of cash in the summer.

4. I'm going to work out this summer.

Maybe. Hopefully. probably not, but at least I'm thinking about it.

5. Great, I have classes this summer.

There's nothing like a summer class with your graduating class at your community college. It's like a high school reunion.

6. Road trip?

Gather the friend group and hit the road. Buuutt, let's be real, that's not going to happen.

7. I'm going to hang out with all of my friends all summer.

It's nearly impossible to get the entire friend group together to hang out. You'll have one friend on vacation, one working all summer, one that is in both summer session classes, and you sleeping away the summer.

8. I can't find anything.

I'm going to be honest, I probably won't fully unpack at all this summer. This makes it really hard to find all of my stuff and I end up angrily digging through all of my boxes.

9. It's family time.

9 times out of 10, your entire family will want to see you and talk about your semesters in school. Time to put on that smile and recite your entire spring semester within 10 minutes. You'll hear a lot of "What's your major now?" "How were your finals?" "What grades did you make?" "What do you want to do after college?" "Have you thought about graduate school?"

10. I want to go back to [insert your college town].

Late nights out, your college friend group, and the freedom that college had was amazing and sometimes it's hard not to miss it. Especially when you have a house full of animals and people that are a little crazy sometimes.

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.
