The regular college football season is over and now people across the country are faced with a huge dilemma: What do I do with my Saturday's now? I am hear to tell you that there are actually quite a bit of things that you can do to fill the void that college football left in your Saturdays. With a typical college football season taking up thirteen Saturdays a year, here are some ideas that you can do on the other 39 Saturdays of the year.

1. Sleep.

No more getting up early to tailgate and no more going to bed late because of 8 o'clock games. It is time to catch up on some much needed beauty sleep.

2. Get back on the health food kick.

No more tailgating means no more junk food and beer. Instead of reaching for those chicken wings grab salad and an apple instead.

3. Go shopping for clothes.

It is time to wear something other than team gear for a change. Hit the mall and treat yourself.

4. Bake.

Perfect that cupcake recipe you've been working on forever. You could be the next Cupcake Wars champion!

5. Pimp your ride.

Your car needs some TLC sometimes, too.

6. Read a book.

Grab a new book, a blanket, and a cup of coffee and snuggle up for an adventure from the comfort of your own home.

7. Hit the gym.

8. Take a walk in the park.

Enjoy the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp, cool morning air. Add a dog and a cup of coffee and you will be in heaven.

9. Volunteer.

Check with animal shelters, hospitals, park services. Everyone needs a little help sometimes; it is time to give back!

10. Learn a new language.

Whether it be Spanish, Mandarin, French, Russian, or something else. Language broadens the mind. Though, I wouldn't know that from experience. I only speak English: the language of Shakespeare.

11. Adopt a pet.

Save a life. Make a fur-ever friend.

12. Try a new restaurant.

Get in the car and just drive. Stop at the first new place that you see. Don't blame me if it turns out to be bad.

13. Clean your house.

Did you know that spring cleaning can happen any time of year?

14. Take a road trip.

Plan a weekend getaway somewhere new and exciting!

15. Reconnect with that friend that roots for the other team.

16. Learn a new instrument.

There are plenty of apps now that will teach you how to play so you don't even need an instructor!

17. Visit a theme park.

Disney: fun at every age!

18. Go to the movies.

Pick an early movie (before noon) and tickets are usually only $5-$7! That saves money for the inevitable concession stand trap.

19. Grab some friends and head to a roller rink.

Dress in the most ridiculous outfit that you can find.

20. Painting with a Twist.

Pick a painting to work on and sip on some wine with friends. Rumor is that the more you drink the better the painting looks.

21. Go on a date with your significant other

At a nice restaurant, not a bar. So that you can talk, not watch a football game.

22. Start a garden.

23. Get a hair cut.

New do, new you!

24. Visit a museum.

You may learn something new that you actually enjoy!

25. Work on that tan (not from the bottle).

In Florida it is always tanning season.

26. Explore small businesses in the area.

Shop local. You will likely find unique items, better quality than big stores, and you will be keeping your hard earned money in the community!

27. Catch up on social media.

Switch between Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat to see what everyone has been up to since football season ended.

28. Get your nails done.

It can change your perspective on life.

29. Play video games all day long.

Pop in Grand Theft Auto and drive like your life depends on it!

30. Star gaze.

31. Go camping.

Stay the night after you stargaze. Go fishing, hiking, and check out all that nature has to offer us.

32. Binge watch Netflix.

Supernatural here I come.

33. Start a band.

Find some friends and have some fun! (Preferribly musically inclined friends).

34. Start a blog.

If you've got a lot on your mind and want to talk, the internet will listen! Give it a shot. You may find that it's an outlet that you really enjoy.

35. Make scrapbooks.

I mean a good old fashioned, cheesy scrapbook. Print your favorite pictures and stick them in there! When you lose all of your photos down the line because your computer or phone crashes you will thank me.

36. Play sports with friends.

Play for fun or get a team together and compete locally!

37. Study.

It just has to be done. I am sorry.

38. Make a spaghetti and marshmallow tower.

How tall can you make it?


39. Wait for next season to start.

Hang in there. Football season will be back before you know it. Especially if you occupy your time with some of the items on this list!

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.
