As August creeps up on us we must make the most of the last days as possible. Back to school season can be stressful, exciting, and sometimes even bittersweet. Why not celebrate a few random holidays throughout the month to relax? These can remind us that even if summer is ending, the fun doesn't have to.

1. August 1st: National Girlfriends Day

Show your girlfriend some extra love!

2. August 4th: National Mustard Day

Mustard is a major #MOOD

3. August 10th: National S'mores Day

Have a bonfire!

4. August 20th: World Mosquito Day

Have a bonfire again and wear bug spray!

5. August 26th: National Dog Day

Cuddle with your furry friend.

6. August 27th: Global Forgiveness Day

I don't know if this means everyone should be forgiving or if we should forgive the world but why not try both?

7. August 31th: National Eat Outside Day

Grab some friends and head to the quad to enjoy one of your first meals of a new semester!

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.

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.
