6 Thing I Did On Vacation This Week Instead Of Coming Up With A Good Article Idea

When you're sitting back and relaxing on the shore of a beach in scenic Narragansett, Rhode Island, it's easy to let any other responsibilities you have just fade away. Which is why I totally forgot to come up with an idea for this week's article. Well, they always say to just write about what you know, so I'm just gonna tell you about all the things I did on my lovely vacation

1. Did some skimboarding

Okay, I'm not as good as that guy in the gif, but I still had a ton of fun with this. The basic premise is you throw the board onto the tide and then run after it and jump on it and then you just glide along the sand. It's like surfing, but less cool and more annoying to people just trying to take a walk on the beach.

2. Ate at two restaurants that Guy Fieri also ate at

I'll tell ya what, they may as well change the name of Narragansett to Flavortown. Two restaurants I ate at this week, Aunt Carrie's and Crazy Burger, were featured on Guy Fieri's Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives; a staple of food-slash-travel programming. You could almost feel the frosted tips as you entered the restaurant, eager to discover what distinguished this place enough to be Fieri worthy. I have to say, both were very delicious.

3. Saw the new Ghostbusters movie

What the hell were people complaining about? I loved this! It didn't try to be the original, it tried to be it's own thing, which worked well, and it didn't take itself too seriously either. Anyone complaining about this movie is probably just a misogynist who worships a shrine of Bill Murray every morning. Also, Kate McKinnon is bae.

4. Had a delicious and refreshing Del's frozen lemonade

I don't know what it is that makes this thing so delicious, but Del's frozen lemonade is one of the main reasons I keep coming back here. It's pretty much just sugar, ice, and lemonade, but there's something special in it that makes it literally one of the most refreshing things I've ever had. Also, they're only sold in Rhode Island, so if you're not a local, you'll have to take a trip to try it. Trust me, it will be worth it.

5. Watched all of Stranger Things

While my days were spent entirely on the beach, my nights were spent unwinding with some Netflix. My sibling recommended Stranger Things and we were immediately hooked. The pacing of the mystery was perfect. It kept me on my toes the whole time and I was always eagerly awaiting the next episode. The cast, especially the fantastic child actors, was also great. I would recommend if you're a fan of X-Files, Spielberg movies, or just good sci-fi in general.

6. Got pooped on by a seagull

You know how they say that there is a first for everything? Well, this was one of those things I could have lived a full, happy lifetime without experiencing. It wasn't too bad though. I was lying down reading my book when I suddenly felt something cold land on my swim trunks. I reached down to try and wipe it off but my mom warned me not too. I then realized what had happened, and then slowly and calmly walked down to the water to wash off. This, unlike everything else on this list, is not something I would recommend. (Also yes, as the gif shows, we had some nosy seagulls try to steal our food as well.)

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.
