Summer is undeniably the favorite season by far for many reasons.

However, the biggest reason is obvious: It's not cold. Winter is a real downer and can make it seem like there's really nothing to do because you lack one of the most enjoyable places to be: the outdoors! Although some may not like the outdoors, there are very few people who don't like warm weather. Who doesn't want to sit outside with shorts and a tank top on? With winter dragging on to what seems like eternity there's some things that everyone misses about the warm summer days.

1. The sunshine

The sun is a big mood enhancer; it makes everyone's day just a little brighter and just genuinely makes people happier. Also, the obvious reason it makes the outdoors more enjoyable by increasing the temperature.

2. Swimming

Swimming is one of the most wonderful things about summer. The refreshing feeling of the water and the relaxation it offers is undeniably enjoyable. Weather its a small lake or a beach anyone in their right mind won't pass up time to take a swim!

3. Ice Cream

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! Although we enjoy the warm weather endlessly, sometimes the sun can be unbearably hot. With this sweet treat the sunshine can be just a little more bearable as well as enjoyable.

4. Camping

Some may think camping in the great outdoors can be the struggle. Although sometimes this is true, camping is one of the most relaxing things to do. No distractions, just you and nature. It can be a real eye-opener to some who don't realize the beauty of nature.

5. Summer break

Nothing says summer like having time off; no worries, no problem! The endless amounts of studying finally pays off as soon as you embark on your summer vacation.

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.
