6 Ways To Cope With Summer Ending
Versakini

Oh summer. Summer means no finals, no all-nighters and no mental breakdowns. So how are we expected to be able to let go of our favorite season so easily? These six ways may prepare you for this fall, but they also might make saying goodbye to this summer a bit easier.

1. Deny. Deny. Deny.

If you don't accept the summer is ending, maybe it won't happen? Let’s all try this one and find out.

2. Squeeze everything into the last two weeks.

Disney, a Dodger game and the beach in one day with three different sets of friends? Sounds like a slow day, you better fill up your schedule with everyone you want to see before you leave so that you don't leave anyone out.

3. Post throw back Thursday pics on all your social media.

In doing so, you and all your friends can stroll down memory lane together.

4. Think about the future.

Think about all the new memories you’ll make at school this fall and all your college friends you haven't seen all summer. Taco Bell at 2:00 a.m. just isn't the same without them.

5. Give yourself something to look forward to.

A shopping spree? A new hair cut? Blue Bell Ice Cream by the gallon? Whatever your thing is tell yourself you’ll get it as soon as summer is over.

6. Start counting down the days till next summer.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
