13 Reasons Why Summer Needs To Come Faster

Towards the end of the school year with AP exams and finals, students begin to lose motivation. Summer seems so far away and there are growing piles of homework stacking up in front of each of us. Summer just doesn't seem to come fast enough. Here are 13 reasons why it needs to hurry up.

1) We’ve made it this far.

We came to school way back in august with bright smiles and great attitudes. Now we’ve made it all the way to May and somehow survived. That deserves some kind of a reward, right?

2) Finals are not fun.

After all that hard work throughout the year, we now have to spend the whole weekend re-learning the material from the whole year if we don't want our grades to go down the drain!

3) The teachers don't want to be here either.

Not only are students sick of being dragged to school everyday, the teachers also don't want to be there! They decide not to show up some days, make up excuses for why they don't have lesson plans, or sometimes even admit they were too lazy and just play a movie for the class.

4) We’re not doing anything important.

We're not learning anything new, and we're not reviewing the old material, we are literally just watching movies and playing kahoots.

5) It feels like summer.

At least here in Georgia, the weather is bright and sunny and people are out swimming almost every weekend. If Mother Nature thinks it's summer, why can't school catch on?

6) No one is trying anymore.

You know it's the end of the year when everyone wears shorts and a t-shirt and a messy bun everyday.

7) We need a good vacation.

We need a vacation from school and all it's drama and chaos. We're tired of working so hard. Let's all go to Hawaii!

8) Our spring break tan lines have faded.

Spring break was great. Everyone went to the beach, got all tan, and had a blast. But now, a month or so later, the tan lines have faded and it's time to get back in the sun and get tan again.

9) We need the time off.

We have been waiting for the day to come when school is out and we can just have long careless days of playing in the water under the sun, listening to music and drinking lemonade. So why can't that day just come a little sooner?

10) We want to wear tank tops and shorts.

Those wonderful summer clothes are just sitting in our closets because we can't wear them to school. Maybe because school’s freezing or maybe because of dress code, but who cares — we are ready to wear tank tops and summer clothes!

11) No homework.

Summer means no homework and that makes everyone happy. And sure, there's summer work, but we all wait until the day before school starts to do that anyway, right?

12) Light hair.

With everyone dying their hair these days, those of us who just want some natural highlights are longing for the day when summer will come. We’ll look like we got professional highlights, but it's actually the magic of the sun!

13) Summer means all the fruit is in season!

All we want is some nice watermelon to sit at the beach and eat. Not a picture of watermelon to look at while we study for finals.

So summer, if you’re reading this, please come faster!

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.
