11 Things To Do The Summer Before You Graduate College
Julia Lederer

It's your last summer to be completely free from a long-term job and real world experiences. This is the summer to remember, a summer you will never get back. One year left of college and then your summers will turn into five day workweeks. Make it a summer you will look back on and not want to change a thing. Here are 11 things that will help make this a summer to remember...

1. Spend quality time with your parents.

You never know where your job may take you, spend time with your parents while you're still so close to home.

2. Try something new.

This is your time to do something you normally wouldn't. Go try something you will always remember.

3. Go to a concert.

Go see your favorite artist or band you've been dying to see.

4. Reach out to an old friend.

This is your time to reconnect with friends from your hometown. You're finally home from school and have a little extra time on your hands.

5. Explore a new place.

Whether it's a city or a beach, go somewhere you've always wanted.

6. Have a bonfire and reminisce on the past three years of college.

Surround yourself with your friends and a fire while telling some quality stories. You're guaranteed to get a good laugh out of it.

7. Do something out of your comfort zone.

Do something you've always been a little afraid of, step out of your comfort zone.

8. Try a new physical activity.

As your workweeks are in reach you won't have as much time to try new physical activities. Go find something you can keep up with, maybe yoga or Soul Cycle.

9. Take a road trip.

Grab your friends and take a long drive to a nice weekend get away.

10. Take advantage of being young and 21.

This is the time in life where it's acceptable to take advantage of nightlife. You have your whole life to sit around and watch Netflix, go have some fun!

11. Treat yo' self.

Do whatever your heart desires, treat yo' self and have no regrets.

This is your time to take advantage of these warm summer days! Have a summer that you, your parents and your friends will never forget. A summer full of good times and good stories to come out of it. Don't end the summer saying "I wish," end it with "I did."

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.
