Every summer I see girls make the same mistake over and over again. They spend their entire summer pining for a guy that is not worth breath that they breathe. Every. Single. Summer. It's like a never ending cycle and to be honest, I'm over seeing it. I don't know where girls get in their mind that they have to find love in the summertime and if they don't, something must be wrong with them.
Why not spend the summer focusing on things that you love and bettering yourself. I love being at school with my friends but I always love coming home so I can focus on myself. If you're one of those people who have a hard time doing that then don't worry! I've come up with the perfect list of things you can do this summer to fully embrace your singleness and love every minute of it.

Take this summer and make it about you. If a relationship just so happens to fall into this then so be it, but don't go actively searching for one. Yes it's wonderful to be in a healthy and happy relationship but it's also wonderful to be able to focus on being the best you! Remember, you have no one to consult with and no one to answer to. Make summer sixteen the best one yet and just do you!
