We have survived finals season, packed our rooms, said goodbye to friends, and are finally back home. We have been going non-stop and can finally sit down and do nothing!

Upon returning home, the only thing we can think about is sitting on the couch or laying in bed and doing nothing but watching Netflix or sleeping. We need to recharge after the craziness of the end of the year.

Once we recharge after arriving home though, we must adjust back to life at home. We wait for all our friends to return home and to start summer jobs.

Here are four easy and fun things we can all do after returning home from college for the summer.

1. Organize

Brunch is the perfect meal to share with your friends and to catch up about everyone’s semester. Go all out for this brunch: create cute invitations, decorate the table, research new brunch recipes!

3. Road trip

Take an impromptu road trip with your friends one day. Doesn’t matter where you go or how far you go, just explore somewhere new!

4. Continue to do nothing

This sounds silly but enjoy not having any responsibilities and just relax. You’ve worked hard all semester and now is your time to step back from everything. Enjoy the fun and excitement of the summer with your friends and family.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
