Has summer felt like a breeze? Finishing last minute summer homework is not much of an end to summer. These fun activities will make the end of summer a blast!

1. Try escape the room.


This activity is perfect for team bonding or just with your friends. Last Minute Escape has rooms in Wayne, Morristown, Montclair and Toms River. This activity is for people who enjoy a challenge and problem solving. You have exactly one hour to find the key and escape the room. This a complex yet fun activity that will really make you think. Prices vary between party size. Check out it and book your adventure.

2. Try a sushi burrito.


This is for all the sushi lovers out there. This unique creation can be found at Inspiration Roll, with stores located in Morristown, Summit and Caldwell. You can create your own burrito or you can also order a number of different dishes. This brings sushi to a whole other level. Prices can vary with extra toppings but the standard price of one sushi burrito is $9. You don't always have to travel to New York City to try unique foods.

3. Try rolled ice cream.

Rolled ice cream is also one of the biggest food trends of the summer. This fascinating dessert can be found right down the road from Inspiration Roll at Taro. This is a perfect dessert on a hot summer night. The rolled up ice cream originated from Thai-inspired ice cream rolls. Liquid cream is placed upon an advanced cool plate which turns the liquid into ice cream in under two minutes.

It's great exercise and serious fun. Games like dodge ball and basketball are all held at these complexes. Prices are determined by the amount of time spent at Sky Zone.

5. Visit the Turtle Back Zoo.

This is a great trip for kids and families during the summer. The wide variety of animals will keep you entertained throughout your whole trip. Prices range from Adults: $14.00, children (ages 2 to 12): $11.00, seniors 62+: $11.00, children 23 months and under: free, and rental safari double strollers: $7.00.

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.

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.
