15 Reasons You Should Be Totally Stoked That Summer Is Ending!
Toby Harriman

Hallelujah! Summer is ending, fall is starting and winter is just around the corner! Ok, so you might think I'm crazy. Why would I be so excited that the playtime season is over? What could we have to gain when the sun starts to hide behind the clouds? Well here just a few reasons why you should be super stoked that summertime is ending.

1. No More Sweat Stains

Don't deny it. You sweat, a lot, in the summer and then you're all gross when you're just standing there. Not to mention you can't hide it.

2. Don't have to Shave Everyday

We should all continue to shave, but if you don't feel like shaving that day, it's ok. No one will see, no one will know.

3. No More Sunburns

Ok, I guess you could still get sunburned, but unlikely. I can go outside and not have to worry about the consequences.

4. Pumpkin Spice Flavor

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin spice flavored things, but I know it's a favorite. So enjoy those flavors you only get once a year!

5. Boots

This may be a personal feeling, but I love boots! I love how they look and feel, and I love that if my nails look awful, I don't have to worry about it.

6. Scarves

Scarves can make a simple outfit look fantastic with no effort. Just add a little pattern and color to your style

7. Comfy sweaters

Do I even need to explain this? You can have the "curled up on the couch" feeling while your out and about livin' life.

8. Pretty Colors!

It's impossible to take a bad picture in autumn. With all the colors and the lighting from the slightly overcast sky, nothing could be better

9. Go on cooler hikes

Hikes are awesome, but not in 100+ weather! Give me a nice hike with clouds in the sky any day and I'll be happy.

10. Football season: Go Niners!

This one is obvious... (Yes, I understand the 49ers aren't that good, but it's my team!)

11. Soup Season

Chicken noodle, tomato soup with grilled cheese, tortilla soup, cheesy broccoli, simple cheap easy meals! Can't go wrong with a steamy bowl of soup while sitting by the fire.

12. No More Tan Lines

You're all covered up now! No need to worry about those multiple tan lines you've accumulated over the summer.

13. Let Your Hair Down

No more need for ponytails! Let your hair down and now your neck will still stay nice and cool.

14. Hot chocolate

Pretty much snuggle up by the fire and and think of all that chocolaty goodness!

15. Bonfires

Get your friends to get her and have bonfire! It's not too hot anymore and now you can wear the super comfy fashionable sweater you've wanting to wear!

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.
