I am someone who always plans to accomplish many things when summer comes around, but sadly life happens. With summer coming to an end, I have come to the realization that I have yet to do anything this summer except work and take a summer class. I know I am not alone, as most of my friends have also come to this realization.

There are so many things that I planned on doing this summer, but I haven't been able because of time and money. When telling other people about how all I've really done this summer is work and study, they typically respond with something along the lines of "welcome to the real world" or "this is what it's like to be an adult." The problem is, in my eyes I don't see myself as a full-blown adult quite yet. I've compiled a list of different things I have yet to do this summer, but plan on doing at least once before it's time to head back to school in the fall.

1. Go to the beach.

2. Go on a road trip.

3. Do a sunrise hike.

4. Go to the drive-ins.

5. Go to a bonfire.

6. Go to a fair.

7. Go camping

8. Read a book.

9. Go star-gazing.

10. Go mini golfing.

11. Make s'mores.

12. Go to a concert.

13. Pull an all nighter.

14. Go for a bike ride.

15. Go to a farmers' market.

16. Spend time with family.

17. Have a picnic.

18. Go to a new city.

19. Go to a baseball game.

20. Go night swimming.

21. Donate old clothes.

22. Go to a new coffee shop.

23. Binge watch a new Netflix series.

24. Spend time with my best friend from high school.

25. Tan in my backyard.

26. Go shopping.

27. Try new foods.

28. Go out for a night on the town.

29. Pick some flowers.

30. Do yard work.

31. Go to a water park.

32. Make a collage.

33. Eat breakfast in bed.

34. Go to a museum.

35. Go for a run in the rain.

36. Go for a sunrise run.

37. Collect seashells.

38. Take my dog for a hike.

39. Have a barbecue.

40. Eat an ice cream sundae.

41. Go kayaking.

42. Go to the Ben & Jerry's factory.

43. Go to New York City.

44. Run a 5k.

45. Run a 10k.

46. Go on a mini vacation.

47. Go swimming in a pool.

If you're like me and haven't had time to do some or any of these things yet, don't worry! There is still time to complete some or even all of these activities. Even though there are more things on this list than there are days left of summer, I still am going to attempt to do all of these.

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.
