7 Things To Do This Summer

Not just laying on the beach.

7 Things To Do This Summer

Summer. Just hearing the word gives me a warm feeling in my stomach. Beautiful weather filled with endless nights and mornings with countless adventures and activities to take place in. Everything just seems better in the summer, including the amount of activities you can do. Though there is nothing wrong with spending summer days laying in a beach chair, here are some not as common activities you could try out for this summer.

1. Buy a concert ticket to see a band you know nothing about.

No, not even the type of music. You and your friend can try and guess what kind of music the band plays, and dress accordingly. It could be interesting showing up in a country outfit to a punk rock concert. Plus, it'll be cool to hear a local band play.

2. Play a game of manhunt.

Childhood would not be the same without this late-night game with neighbors. You're never too old to have some fun. Get together some friends and relive one of the most exciting games to play when you were younger. Wearing all black is, of course, still necessary.

3. Let someone else order your meal at a restaurant.

I admit that I am guilty of ordering the same meal at the same restaurant every single time once I find one that I love. Try a new restaurant with a friend and have them pick a meal for you without knowing what it is until it is right in front of you. You may be surprised.

4. Go to an old movie theatre that plays old films.

Going to the movies is the most basic date one could go on. Mix it up a little and put a twist on the average date night by going to an old movie theatre and catching a nice black and white film.

5. Go on a picnic.

Another childhood memory that faded too soon. All you need is a park or a nature spot, a good group of friends, and you're set for a good day. Bring some KanJam and spike ball, too.

6. See a movie at the drive-in.

This is another option better than just a regular movie theater. Whether it be a date or a night with friends, the drive-in never disappoints. First, you can get there early and throw a frisbee and just enjoy the atmosphere. There is plenty of candy, snacks and food to choose from as well, but you can also fit unlimited snacks in your car. You can watch the movie feeling as comfy as being at home while still being out.

7. Go on a bike ride.

This you can do alone, on a date, or with friends. Take a bike and you can honestly go anywhere. Preferably choose a nice scenic route; but what's more enjoyable than a great view, relaxation, and exercise while you're at it?

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.
