7 Reactions When Realizing It's The End Of Summer
andpop.com

The summer months always fly by and when they come to an end there is lots of sadness and reality that comes with it.

1. Being pale starts to become reality

Even after having almost four months to bake in the sun, you still don’t look or feel any darker than you did in April. It’s disappointing because in the beginning of the summer you know you felt so confident that you would be “sooo” tan this summer. It sucks even more when you see people that actually look a different race than they did before, jealousy definitely sets in.

2. Having to have an actual schedule again.

Everything starts again; school, sports and regular sleeping patterns. In my opinion, it's way better to go to sleep at 3:00 a.m. and wake up at noon than to try and make it to my 8:00 a.m. looking half decent.

3. Proper Clothing.

Along with the normal schedule comes having to look good every day. It’s no more bathing suits and athletic shorts as my daily outfit. Having to be presentable all the time can be a huge annoyance.

4. Packing for school begins.

This definitely is the most overwhelming one. My stuff from the previous year is now all over my house and I don’t even know how to begin to put my stuff back together again. Thinking about how it’s all going to fit in my tiny apartment is another disastrous issue.

5. Knowing that cold weather is coming soon.

Even though it’s a few months away, the thought of UGG boots and a heavy winter jacket makes me want to vomit. Cold weather has so many more negatives than positives.

6. Somehow you have no money.

After feeling like you worked the entire summer and had absolutely no free time at all, fall begins and you still are broke. You have no money to spend on clothes or books and even have to look around for quarters to do your laundry.

7. Say goodbye to the beach body.

The motivation to look good on the beach slowly dwindles and you tell yourself it’s fine because now you can wear a sweatshirt all the time. It’s OK, you can try again next year.

Although the ending of summer can be upsetting, fall brings lots of fun and new things also. Just think, pumpkin spice lattes will be coming back soon enough!

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.
