28 Things To Hate About Summer

It's not always fun in the sun.

Ah, summer. It's the season we desperately long for at any other time of the year, except maybe during the holiday season since it's ~the most wonderful time of the year~. But despite our overwhelming love for the season that promises beautiful weather and a relaxing break from school, there are actually a lot of things about summer that we hate with a passion, such as:

1. Sunburn

2. Awkward tan lines

3. Long lines at every ice cream shop

4. Bugs

5. Seagulls stealing your food

6. Seagulls pooping on you

I know it's supposedly good luck but still, nobody wants to spend a day at the beach cleaning bird crap off of them.

7. Boob sweat

8. Underarm sweat

9. Just... sweat

10. Places without air conditioning

11. Places with too much air conditioning

One minute you're in the desert, the next you're in the Arctic tundra.

12. How hot your car gets after it sat out in the sun for hours

I'm starting to think those reflective windshield things really don't help that much.

13. Summer classes


14. Summer work schedules

15. Boredom when none of your friends are free at the same time as you

16. Flip flops

Convenient for the beach and the pool, but not for venturing around town.

17. Crowded beaches

18. Hot sand at the beach


19. Jellyfish

20. Whatever seaweed/trash floats around in the ocean

21. Getting saltwater in your eyes


22. Getting sand in every possible nook and cranny of your body at the beach

23. Everything smells bad


24. Hurricanes

25. Bad allergies

26. Construction everywhere

You can't escape it, no matter how hard you try.

27. Trying to schedule a million appointments before you go back to school

28. And obviously, extreme heat

But don't worry! Before you know it, fall will be here, followed by winter, and then you'll be wishing it were summer again.

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.
