13 Things to Do Before Summer Ends

Where on Earth did summer go, blink of an eye and its already August. Maybe you had an adventurous summer and did everything you could've wanted or maybe, like the rest of us, you had big plans for the summer but spent it working, hiding out in the AC and partaking in the same old, boring routine. Before the summer ends- classes begin, work schedules get kicked into high gear, your planner is filled with deadlines, projects and practices, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a few weeks of fun before it's all over. Here are a few simple, hassle-free things to do to make this summer worth remembering.

1. Read

Even though you'll be sitting in a classroom in less than 3 weeks, try to expose your mind to something not taught in school.

2. Get moving!

Maybe try a little harder than this for that summer bod.

3. Can you say Road Trip?!

Grab some friends, an overnight bag and load up the car. Visit your Aunt in California you never see or your sister in New Hampshire. Whoever it may be, you'll be glad you got out of your hometown for the weekend and explored a new city or state.

4. Stargaze

Summer nights are the perfect opportunity to look up at the night sky and realize there are things much bigger than ourselves. Grab a blanket and do it on the beach for an even better atmosphere.

5. Get ice cream

Wherever, whenever. Just do it.

6. Go to a sunflower field

Summers most beautiful flower is a must see this time of year.

7. Take a trip to your local Farmer's Market

If sunflowers are summers flower than fresh fruit and veggies are definitely a summer food. Take advantage of it.

8. Be near the water

Summer is for sand in places you never knew was possible.

9. Watch the sunrise or sunset

Take a hike during it for an even better view.

10. BRUNCH

Because who doesn't want to be drunk at 11 a.m.

11. Rock a cute outfit

12. Fruity, frozen drinks

What's summer with out an umbrella in your drink?

13. Go to an outdoor concert

Doesn't have to be Coachella, but that's not a bad start.

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.
