Nearing the end of the 2018-2019 school year the saying “this summer is going to be the summer of 2016". I don't know about y'all but that was the summer I started driving and let me tell ya my life changed so much!

I know that everyone I've talked to agreed that their 2016 summer was their best one yet. Which is really confusing as to how this summer has NOT been anything like the summer it was supposed to be.

Not only have I had to work LITERALLY all the time and have little time to socialize with my friends, but the adulting stuff of life also hit me as well. It feels like now that we are adults fun is a lot more hard to have/find. You HAVE to work enough hours to pay rent, bills, etc.

Not only did I have a really busy work schedule but I also was taking 2 summer classes. It feels like now that we are adults we don't get a summer vacation anymore. We are always doing something whether that be school, work, etc.

I know now that I just have to get used to the idea of summer is for working and the school year is for school. Which does kind of suck but it's just realizing that you have more responsibilities and have to make the hard decision?

Although that doesn't mean as adults we can't still have fun! We just have to go the extra mile to make plans with our friends.

It's not like high school where you saw your friends every day and could be like “Hey, you wanna chill at my house after school" now we actually have to make the effort.

Which yes that kinda sucks but honestly that's how you find out who your the first friends are. They will go that extra mile to spend time with you and if not we well maybe they aren't as good of a friend after all...

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.
