During the summer, there are many fun vacation trips you plan with your friends and family. Most people like the theme parks and getting out of the states. Yet, if you're like me, the only trip that really gets you excited is going to the beach. A beach bum, like me, would sit in a lot of traffic just to go sit at the beach for a couple hours. The boardwalks are just a plus if its by a beach.

My family trip to Myrtle beach, SC was my favorite family trip. Although South Carolina offers many exiting places to go, I would still want to spend a whole day at the beach. I also blame my beach bum-ness on the fact that my college is in upstate New York. There are no close beaches to visit, to my knowledge, around Ithaca College. So below are 18 signs that you're totally a beach bum.

1. When your friends suggest a getaway trip, your answer is always going to the beach

At this point they should already know your suggestion

2. You have to confirm all the details before going


Just to make sure everyone knows they are all committed to the beach

3. You suddenly become a morning person for just one day

Because the beach day is today.

4.When someone says a different beach that you know is not the beach to go to

You are the beach expert on the good beaches and the bad beaches

5. You have that great beach spot you have to get

You won't settle for sitting just anywhere

6. You don't mind getting sandy at all

It would be weird for you to go to the beach and not get sandy

7. It is natural to start tanning for the first couple minutes you are settled

You don't think it's offense to not talk to anyone just yet

8. You have the perfect beach snacks

Because you packed them yourself

9. You have that special bikini top that can only be worn at the beach

Plus, it's all about the beach selfies

10. You can point out the first time beach goers

Or anyone that gets their coolers searched

11. You stay in the water most of the time

Because your done sitting in the hot sand not talking to anyone

12. You can convince the rest of your friends to goof off

Because you have the whole day to just have fun

13. You get excited when there are no lifeguards on duty

Just to pretend you are one for the Instagram pic

14.You got that special beach playlist

Eventually, your friends get used to your type of music.

15. You have that typical beach bum accessories.

Or at least own one accessory.

16. You can stare at the water for the longest time

Because you don't live too close to the ocean.

17. It's the worst feeling when you have to leave

Because you want to live at the beach forever.

18. Your motivated to start to plan the next beach trip

Because it was just that fun.

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.
