It's that time again! The glorious long days of summer are coming to an end and school is right around the corner. Every year around this time I find myself regretting my decisions to stay inside and watch Netflix most days. This year I have put my foot down! I have decided that I am going to adventure out this summer and experience some good summer fun! Here are some ideas that you can take advantage of while there is still time.

1. Go Backpacking

Nothing says adventure like backpacking the great outdoors. This is a great way to experience nature, but also a great way to get pulled outside of your comfort zone. There is no option for "fancy" camping and no chance of getting Netflix to occupy you!


2. Try Out Cliff Diving

This is one that is not for the faint of hearts. If you have never done this, there is no doubt that this will be an experience. This is adventure for those of you that love water and love getting that adrenaline rush.


3. Take A Road Trip

It's not everyday that you get a chance to get together with your friends and drive cross country. Once school starts back there will be no time for such spontaneity. Go out, take a risk, and end up where ever the road takes you!


4. Go Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Although not as intense as some of the other activities listed, stand up paddle boarding requires a modest amount of skill. Once getting balanced while standing, it is a fun laid back activity that allows you to chill out and appreciate the things around you.


5. Take A Canopy Zip Line Tour

Not only do you get to zip around high in the air, but you also get to see some amazing views. Zip lining is something that allows the participant to get that adrenaline rush, but also hang out and enjot the ride!

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.
