While summer is much anticipated, it can feel like a long stretch of time if you aren't kept busy with the right activities. It is easy to fall into a routine since, well, we have almost nothing to do now that school is out. So if you haven’t made a bucket list for the summer or a mental list of what you want accomplish then now is the time. In case you already have your bucket list, you can revisit it to see what to add to your list because I have got some great ideas you might enjoy.

1. Go on a road/camping trip

Schedule a road trip or a camping trip with friends! While it might seem like a lot of work, it is necessary to get out of the same environment and visit new places. Don't forget a road trip playlist though, as it is required for the optimum experience.

2. Learn another language

Learn another language: French, Spanish, German or whatever feels right. Learning another language is a great opportunity to know gain cultural knowledge of other countries. It is definitely something that looks great on your resume and will also get you out of your comfort zone. You will definitely impress your friends if you come back from summer with a new language on your tongue, mais oui j'approuve.

3. Go to a concert, or two

Going to a concert is a way to relax at the end of the day. Go see the artist whose concert you've been dying to attend and bring out your inner crazy side.

4. Channel your inner artist

If you have a talent or hobby you can't practice at school or don't feel like taking on as a career, now is you chance. Paint, refine your drawing skills or practice the piano. You'll thank yourself later.

5. Relax on the beach

If you live in the Midwest, well I'm extremely sorry. But I am sure you can find a nice water park to relax at or get your tan on. But all you West and East coasters, go to the beach, relax in the sand and enjoy the water. #noworries #summer

6. Go see new movies

This summer will definitely be filled with new movie releases. whether it is romance, action, horror, or comedy; you are set for this summer in terms of cinema. I encourage you to go see those movies and have a laugh or a scare. It's definitely worth adding to the summer bucket list.

7. Catch up with friends you haven’t seen in a while.

Having been away at college, you have certainly not seen a lot of your high school friends. Visit them this summer catch up. There is nothing better than catching up with old friends.

Have a great 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.

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.
