When a college student is asked what their plans are for the summer, many will reply working, travelling, or sleeping. A good nights sleep feels so good, especially when you know you don't have to set an alarm for the next day. While your phone may say one thing, nature has something else in store. The hustle and bustle of everyday life is enough to wake you whether you like it or not. These alarms include, but are not limited to:

1. Birds

The early bird gets the worm and if the birds happen to be your alarm clock, then that statement clearly doesn't apply to you. The bird alarm is a more rare occurrence, as it all depends on how many birds are in the area. If they are all hanging out and chirping together, then you will probably have a sweet song to wake you up.

2. Construction

This one also depends on where you live and what is going on. In Chicago, there is always construction when there isn't snow on the ground. If where you live for the summer fits that statement, then get ready for a wild ride. Beeping, drilling, breaking, and yelling will fill your summer mornings.

3. Dogs

Whether you have them or not, dogs can be a great (or annoying?) alarm. If there are multiple in a neighborhood, as soon as one starts you have a symphony of barks.

4. Family

Picture this: its Saturday morning. You don't have work, so you are asleep. Not for long, though, as your whole family is already up and making noise. People are talking, cooking, cleaning, and before you know it, someone is pulling the covers off your warm and toasty bed.

5. Phone Calls

If you get a wake-up call, that probably means its about time you get up. Friends wanting to make plans are a sure sign you were about to sleep the day away, as they tend to sleep just as long as you do. While you may be annoyed with them during the phone call, after you will be thankful as you rise before three in the afternoon.

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.
