Summer is great and all, but I'm ready for it to be over.

11 Things You Won't Miss About Summer
Odyssey

So, for some of us summer is almost over! I return to school in less than a month, and I am kind of freaking out. The end of summer always brings mixed emotions, but here are some things I won't miss.

1. Sweat. So much sweat.

When you live in Texas, you sweat within five minutes of being outside. I can't wait for the fall because I won't die every time I walk outside.

2. Mosquitoes.

They are everywhere! I was enjoying some peace and quiet time in my backyard, and I got bit at least six times by mosquitoes. I will not miss those pesky insects when the fall comes around.

3. You won't be bored all the time.

Summer is great! You have no schedule and can do all sorts of fun things. Well, nine out of 10 times I have nothing to do, so I just sit on my butt all day or sleep.

4. It won't be hot anymore.

It's just so hot outside all the time. When fall and winter roll around I won't miss the heat.

5. Sunburns.

Laying out all day by the pool is super relaxing, but sunburns are real and they hurt. If you've spent more than two hours in the sun you know the agony of a sunburn.

6. Not being able to make plans outside.

I mean, you can, but you will be sweating the whole time. I miss being able to take hikes, hammock, and enjoy outdoor activities without the heat.

7. The random downpours.

When it's summer, I rarely think about rain. Whenever I am out enjoying the sun, and it randomly starts pouring I am not a fan of that.

8. Having to wear sunblock all the time.


It smells weird, and I hate having to constantly reapply it.

9. The constant humidity.

The humidity makes it so much hotter than it feels. Also humidity does wonders for people with naturally curly hair.

10. The crowds at any type of park.

In the summer it means vacation and getting to go to Six Flags, waterparks, having picnics, going to museums, etc. The lines are ridiculous everywhere you go, and you can never enjoy peace and quiet with crowds.

11. Feeling like you need to constantly take a shower.

Walking from my front door to my car, I sweat. We all have that constant feeling of needing to take a shower before and after work.

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.
