There are much better uses of your time.

1. You get no sleep..at all

Most kids out of high school get to sleep in on their first summer as a graduate. You do not. I am up at 7:30 A.M. every morning just to look decent for class. Finally your body is just used to it so you are forced to wake up at 7:30 cause you feel like it's time to drag to school. Not fun.

2. You summer is gone.

Forget having beach days with your friends. Instead, you are stuck in a classroom dreaming of the beach. I am thankful for my classes only running till 11 am. #blessup

3. Summer jobs are way out of the question.

Want to make money? You gotta find out how to work around your schedule. My classes only run till 11, but even then good luck finding somewhere that doesn't want someone with "more flexible hours"

4. Stress is at an all time high.

Not only is a few degrees shy of satan's kitchen outside (shout out to MS for being extremely hot this summer), your stress levels are through the roof. Heat is no help when trying to cope with stress. So, with that being said, relax and try to not overwork yourself.

All of this is true, but don't let it stop you from getting your education. If you are a senior in high school and wanna take summer classes when you graduate, go for it! Just don't overwork yourself on stuff you can't handle. Summer classes are no joke and will drain you completely.

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.
