Every year when summer rolls around, people start making plans to fill up every spare minute of those 3 months. Some of it is wishful thinking, while other ideas will definitely happen. Every person has a slightly different list but there are some definite staples to each person's summer vacation.

Whether it is just wishful thinking or it will actually happen, summer better get ready for all the college students fresh out of finals. Get out there and enjoy the sun! Or as we once wrote in middle school, HAGS.

1. Go to the beach.

This one is necessary for anyone who lives even remotely close to a beach. What's summer without a little sand and sunburns?

2. Spend a lazy day by the pool.

Nothing better than laying by the pool with nothing to do for an entire day.

3. Workout.

Summer even motivates some people to start the trek towards getting in shape. Power to you!

4. Eat healthy.

Nothing says summer more than eating a nice big slice of watermelon, or cooking at home. Maybe even a salad here or there.

5. Eat unhealthy.

Ice cream, iced coffee, soda, and lobster rolls lathered in mayo. Need I say more?

6. Drink lots of water.

With the sun beating down on you, it's very important to keep yourself properly hydrated.

7. Get a job, or work at your summer one.

Nobody wants to work. But it's summer every college student is familiar with after a semester, or year at college. Someone needs to replenish your bank account.

8. Get up and watch the sunrise.

My favorite place to do so is the beach.

9. See your high school friends.

Reminisce in old memories and share new ones.

10. See your college friends.

Make that long drive to meet the friends who made college an amazing experience. 3 months is just too long to be apart.

11. Make time for your family.

Living under the same roof as your parents may be difficult, but you'll probably regret not spending more time with them when you're back at school.

12. Bonfire!

Campfire, s'mores, and roasting hot dogs over a fire. What says summer more?

13. Participate in some summer sports.

Paddle boarding, surfing, water skiing, hiking, and biking are just a few of the many activities that you can do this summer.

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.
