The time has finally come, summer. A time where school is not in session (unless you are taking a summer class) and there are no rules. Unless your parents still have a curfew on you because they know you are the wild child, or you gave yourself a curfew because you have to be at work at 5 a.m. I say that from in experience because yes, I have had to go to work at 5 a.m. Here is a wonderful list of things to do over the summer:

1. Catch up on sleep.

2. Binge watch shows on Netflix.

You can not go wrong with, Friday Night Lights, Criminal Minds, House of Cards, How to Get Away With Murder, Scandal, Gilmore Girls, Friends, New Girl, etc. This list could last forever, but if you are dedicated you could end up finishing a show series every week.

3. Sit outside and do nothing.

If you are going to sit outside it is recommended to put on sunscreen.

4. Go shopping.

5. Take more than one nap in a day.

6. Do some spring cleaning.

It might not be spring, but I can guarantee that your room should be cleaned. It is time to get rid of that four year old t-shirt that you keep because you bought it at a concert that you didn't even enjoy.

7. People watch.

8. Go to a park.

9. Go to the beach.

10. Watch the sunrise and sunset in the same day.

11. Wake up early and go for a run. Or walk, whatever you prefer.

12. Go through old pictures.

13. Call your best friend.

14. Pick up an extra shift at work.

15. Read some books.

16. Thunderstorm watch.

17. Try something new.

This could range from trying new food, a new hairstyle or even buying something you never would have bought. The possibilities are endless.

18. Listen to the same bands you did four years ago.

19. Cry because school and real life is approaching faster than you think it is.

20. Road trip.

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.
