3 Ways to Fight that Mid-Summer Lull

In This Article:

It's that point in the summer where you're probably just sitting on your bed and thinking, "I shouldn't have taken summer classes."

And well, while that's probably true, it's possible to still enjoy yourself while you fast track through your Shakespeare class. Here are a few ways to go about it.

1. Go out of state.

Go to a concert in Atlanta or even Nashville. You don't have to go too far to relax for a little while.

2. Go for a destination-less drive.

It's never not a good idea to get a change of scenery every now and then. It keeps things fresh—plus, you might appreciate your home a little more!

3. Wake up early every morning and go for a run.

Now, not everyone's a morning person, but adding a little more activity than walking to class to your life is a surefire way to make life a little more engaging. It doesn't have to be everyday—it could be every Friday! It doesn't even have to be jogging; go browse a public library!

Any way that you choose to go, take every moment to enjoy this summer, even if you are taking classes!

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.
