7 Things To Do In The Summer

Summer has arrived! Warm summer days and those long summer nights are here to stay... Well, for two months, anyway. We all expect summer to be amazing and full of adventure every day, but of course, it doesn't always happen that way. If you live in a small town usually there is a limited amount of things to do during summer. I come from a small town so I know a thing or two about improvising and finding things to entertain myself with. So, if you're sitting around not sure what to do on a warm summer day or night, here are seven things to do for fun during the summer.

1. Have a bonfire

This is a great thing to do during a warm summer night. This is easiest to do when someone has a fire pit. To add to the bonfire you can also get some supplies to make s'mores.

2. Take a day trip to a lake

If you have a lake somewhere close to your town or even in your town, gather up some friends or family, make some snacks, and enjoy a day fishing at the lake.

3. Go to a drive-in

A drive-in movie is usually cheap and a good time. Not only do you get to enjoy the summer weather, but you also get to enjoy a good movie

4. Go to a baseball game

This doesn't have to be a professional baseball game. You can enjoy a local baseball game while eating some seeds and getting a nice tan.

5. Have a water balloon fight

Get your friends together at a park with tons of water balloons and have an epic water balloon. It's an easy and cheap way to cool off in the summer

6. Make a slip n slide

This only takes a tarp and some soap and water. You can easily lay out the tarp in your backyard. Another easy way to cool off in the summer.

7. Have a summer BBQ

This is a pretty obvious thing to do during the summer. Nothing like having a BBQ in the summer enjoying some good food and good company.

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.
