27 Essential Bucket List Items For Summer 2016
Reflita

The semester is almost over! Finals week is coming up. Good luck to all of you on your finals! I have friends who are already done for the semester and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of them! This semester has been kicking my bum hard. There has been so much to do but such little time to do them in. Like others, I can't wait to be at home with my friends and family, cuddle with my little fur ball, go on adventures, see my two favorite artists (Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas) in concert and relax, of course.

Having a bucket list helps with planning your perfect summer! You don't have to necessarily have a planned out schedule of when you're going to spend the night with a friend or go out. Just let the summer roll on.

The summer is a crucial time for me. I am normally away at college for more than half of the year. Of course, I miss my friends and family when I am away. Spending time with them over the summer is important to me. Summer is one of the longest breaks for going home. It's also important to have fun and relax from all the school work I've had to deal with. Although this summer is going to be a little different for me, I'm still going to do as many fun and exciting things as I can fit in. I am taking an online course in order to fulfill my science requirement and hopefully land a job for the summer. I'll have to try.

I've come up with a few things anyone could do over this summer. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this break...

1. Go skinny dipping (if allowed of course)

2. Try to exercise every day (keyword: try)

3. Go to an amusement park or waterpark

(I recommend Six Flags or Dinsey World.)

4. Eat carnival food

5. Go kayaking or canoeing

6. Forget social media for a few days

7. Try to read a book

Read a book that you would actually like to read even if it has a lot of pictures in it.

8. Go on a road trip - visit different states or drive down/up the coastline

9. Spend a day in the city

Or have a night out in the city.

10. Learn something new

11. Drive around town late at night with your friends

12. Spend a day at the beach

13. Stay up all night talking with your friends

14. Don't party too hard

15. Wake up as early as possible so you're not complaining that the day is almost over

16. Eat pints of ice cream while watching your favorite movie or TV shows

17. Go to the zoo

18. Go mini-golfing

19. Catch up with high school friends

20. Maybe clean your room?

21. Go to a drive-in movie

22. Attend a concert or music festival

23. Have a spa day

24. Netflix and chill?

25. Go bungee jumping

26. Visit an aquarium

27. Enjoy every second you have of summer...

Because it will go by in a blink of an eye.

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.
