18 Things To Do Before The Summer Is Over

1. Go to the beach at least 12,000 times.

This one is a given. Drive three hours if you have to, just get to the ocean.

2. Go to a summer concert.

Even if you don't know who the hell is playing, I promise, it'll be wicked fun.

3. Set a goal and accomplish it.

Ideally, set a realistic goal. Start small and challenge yourself more and more every time you accomplish a new goal.

4. Change your hairstyle.

Dye it, cut it, throw it in a bun, whatever.

5. Exercise

Not just to lose weight or tone down for that beach bod, but to feel healthier and happier (thanks, endorphins). Plus, you'll start to sleep better.

6. Make a bomb ass smoothie.

Fruit, fruit, yum, fruit. Or, kale. Kale is good, too.

7. Cook a meal for your family.

Maybe it'll suck, but it's the thought that counts.

8. Do things out of your comfort zone.

Maybe jumping out of a plane isn't a great place to start, but if it floats your boat, then YOLO.

9. Drink a gallon of water every day.

No, it won't make you look like a stinky jock, but your body needs clear fluids, and pumping water through your body all day will do wonders.

10. Ice cream weekly, if not daily.

It's good for the soul.

11. Go swimming in the ocean.

Sandy toes and salt water, also very good for you, your mind and your soul.

12. Tell someone random they're beautiful.

It would make your day, wouldn't it?

13. Learn something new.

Something, anything, just learn and be open-minded.

14. Go on a road trip.

Thirty minutes to somewhere you've never been does count.

15. Explore your town, city and state.

You never know what is right around the corner from you.

16. Plant some flowers.

Because even if you're allergic, who doesn't love flowers?

17. Jump on a trampoline, and then lay on it and look at the stars at night

A perfect summer evening.

18. Learn to live in the moment.

Self-explanatory.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
