5 Great Ways To Spend Your Summer

In This Article:

With summer quickly approaching, many of us are in need of a way to spend it. Whether it be daily beach trips, or learning how to code, this list provides great brainstorming for the coming months of fun.

1. Go to the beach!

An obvious entry in any list about summertime. Nothing can beat driving a group of friends out to the beach on a hot summer day followed by a shower and a long afternoon nap.

2. Go fishing

Fishing isn't for everyone, but it is by far the most relaxing of outdoor activities. The barrier to entry for fishing is lower than ever before, just an hour watching tutorial videos and you can be fishing in no time.

3. Take a road trip

Personally, one of my favorite summer traditions is taking a road trip with friends. Just a pick a city none of you have ever been to, load up the car with some snacks, make a playlist, and just drive.

4. Take advantage of yard sales

Most yard sales tend to happen during the summer and on Saturday and Sunday mornings and can be extremely fun to look around. You never know what valuable items you can find for incredibly low prices as the primary purpose of a yard sale is to clean out a house and not to make huge profits.

5. Learn a skill

This activity can seem very broad, but it is actually pretty simple. With the extra free time during the summer it is a great time to pick up a skill you have been wanting to learn, or even an instrument. With just a few hours of practice a day you can excel in just about anything!

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.
