12 Ways Not to Waste Your Summer

May is here which means summer is right around the corner. Classes are ending and finals are approaching--the end of the semester is in sight! Summer is notorious for being a time of relaxation after a long year of school. However, don't spend each day binge watching your favorite Netflix original. Get out, have fun, and don't waste your summer!

1. Get a part time job.

A little extra cash never hurt anybody. Start saving for your next semester of college!

2. Have adventure days.

Don't work your summer away! Make sure you have fun some days! Gather your friends to try a new restaurant, go on a hike, visit a local attraction, shop at Target or just try something new with your friends.

3. Plan a beach trip.

What's a summer without a beach trip? Plan a weekend to go down to the shore with family or friends.

4. Join a gym or go to work out classes.

Have you tried yoga or Zumba? Get in shape for bathing suit season!

5. Wake up before 10:30!

Don't waste your days by sleeping through half of them.

6. Job-shadow

Shadow someone in your field of interest for a few days.

7. Start an internship.

Find an internship in your field of interest! Get experience and build up your resume!

8. Reorganize

Find yourself bored in a messy room one day? Reorganize and give your room the deep clean it needs. Or reorganize your college things to prepare for next semester. Or get rid of clothes that you don't wear anymore.

9. Go to a concert.

If you can, go see a summer concert. Outdoor summer concerts are the best kind!

10. Read a book.

Rekindle your childhood love for reading. Pick up that book you have been passing by for months.

11. Okay, maybe watch that Netflix show you have been dying to see.

Just don't spend each day in front of your computer.

12. Enjoy each day!

Stop and enjoy the atmosphere of summer time!

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.
