Unless you're one of the lucky ones that live up north in Arizona, most of us have thought many, many, terrible things about the Arizona summer. Especially those in the Phoenix/Tucson Area. And whether you're like the heat or not, there comes a point in everyone's life during the summer when no amount of loving the heat can save you, and it is just plain miserable out.

But enjoy the cool weekend where it's only 105 degrees outside, because come Monday we're welcoming into Tucson 116 degree weather and 120 degree weather in Phoenix. Without further ado, here's 5 thoughts everyone in Arizona has during the summer.

1. Is it always this hot?

I've spent the past 16 years in Arizona, and I'm still surprised every summer at how hot it gets. And I would swear that it gets hotter every summer that I spend here.

2. Could I actually bake cookies on the sidewalk?

When it gets to the point in the summer heat where your feet burn through your shoes, this thought crosses everyone's minds, and it doesn't seem like that crazy of an idea.

3. Is it actually worth getting in the pool?

Getting in the pool requires going outside, and when the pool water just feels like you're getting in the bathtub, it's really not all that refreshing.

4. Does every store just turn the A/C down all the way? It's freezing in here.

It's that time of the year where it's sweltering outside, yet you still need a jacket anywhere you go where there's A/C so you don't freeze your ass off in a restaurant or movie theatre.

5. Is this what dying feels like?

Because if it's not, I don't want to know what it does feel like.

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.
