It could be really annoying being home for the summer and having nothing to do on your day off. But, it is even worse when you can't figure out what you want to do in that spear time. You only have four months home and have lots of time for adventure and open opportunities. Life is so much better when you are trying new things and waking up not knowing what the day has in store for you. So, here are a couple of things to do over the summer when you can't think of anything.

1. Go for an early morning run on the beach.

Nothing is more energizing knowing that you are waking up and getting some exercise in.

2. Bake or cook something completely new.

Even if the recipe seems sort of complicated, just give it a try. You never know

3. Go explore the closest city near you!

I am lucky enough to have NYC right in my backyard and you there are always new things going on.

4. Explore Pinterest.

Make a DIY project and make a day out of it! I mean who doesn't love shopping around in Michael's anyway?

5.Binge watch a new T.V. series that you didn't think you would like.

You would be surprised as to what catches your eye.

6. Sell stuff on Ebay.

Ok, I know this doesn't sound like fun. But, if you clean up your room, you could find some really great things that you can sell and plus it is easy money.

7. Go to your local farmer's market.

Even if you aren't big into cooking it is cool just walk around!

8. Go to a baseball game!

I mean hey, it is America's past-time.

9. Take yourself shopping!

It is good to treat yourself every once in awhile so why not!?

10. Read a book!


Whether its a book series or just something you have been dying to read, go escape into another world with a new book.

11. Redecorate your room!

Change up your bedroom with some new sheets and pictures to keep it more updated.

12. Go out to a new restaurant!

Eat food that you have never eaten before and that is totally outside of your comfort zone. You may surprise yourself.

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.
