14 Times The People Of 'Napoleon Dynamite' Were All Of Us During The Summer

14  Times The People Of 'Napoleon Dynamite' Were All Of Us During The Summer
Giphy

Summertime is a great time. It's arguably the greatest time of year. No more classes, less stress, more sunshine, more opportunities...three months of endless possibility. Napoleon Dynamite and his friends/family know that.

1. That beautiful moment when you finish your last final and it is officially summer

And it's time to roll out.

2. When people ask you what you are planning to do this summer

Because we are free human beings with three months of school-less bliss.

3. And some of those plans include being on the computer all day

Without school, you have time to enjoy the internet without feeling guilty about it.

4. But eventually some of your friends convince you to actually experience the world

Even if it's not the best idea.

5. When you see someone's insane "swimsuit bod"

To quote Macklemore: "Ima go to the beach but I'm not taking my shirt off in public."

6. When you decide to get all "artsy" and try to take photos with your friends

Summer is probably the best time to go out and do some impromptu photo shoots.

7. When your parents make you do chores, even though it's summer

"Mom, I can't go out and feed the llama...I just got out of a stressful school year. It's too much."

8. There's always that intense game of groundies

Or hide and seek, or sardines, or even tag if you're feeling up to it. You're never too old for outdoor games.

9. Of course, there's always the intense heat of the summer that you don't necessarily get during the school year

Gotta stay hydrated.

10. If you're lucky, you get more chances to pick people up from the airport

Pro Tip: Signs are always appreciated.

11. When you complain to your parents about the lack of food in the house in the hopes that they will go to the grocery store

If you're coming back from college, summer should be the time that you don't have to pay for your own food.

12. But you are then forced to take matters into your own hands

Fishing is a summer activity right?

13. Then the disillusionment of the freedom of summer hits

Responsibilities that you have tried desperately to avoid start to pile up.

14. And you realize that you actually need money

...and sometimes you have to be creative. I hear Michael's has some great crafting supplies.


But even then, we love you, Summer.*


*The season, not the girl

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.
