8 Ways To Be Productive This Summer

School is over, and summer has arrived! Rather than sitting all day on your couch, or wasting the day away on social media, here are eight ways to make your summer the most productive summer yet!

1. Read

You've spent this past school year reading different articles and textbooks for countless hours. So, rather than scrolling through social media, pick up a good book to read that actually interests you!

2. Get into a good sleep schedule

I'm not saying you have to wake up early every single day, but try to set a goal for how much sleep you want to get every single night. By getting a good nights sleep every night, your days will become less stressful and your energy levels will be boosted!

3. Learn a new skill

Some things you could learn to do include: cooking, baking, learning a foreign language, etc! Learn anything you've always wanted to learn!

4. Clean

Clean out your closet, and get rid of your old clothes. Deep-clean your room (something I still need to do lol). Take this time in the summer to de-clutter your life.

5. Do something you've never done before but have always wanted to do

This can be anything, big or small. Use this time to check off something on your bucket list!

6. Catch up with people

Whether its your friends back home, family, or mentors, catch up with them and let them know what you're up to!

7. Set goals

Create a bucket list, make to do lists...you can conquer your goals if you put your mind to it!

8. Do something that gives you joy everyday

For me, doing theater over the summer is something that gives me joy. I love seeing my friends on most nights of the week doing what I love! Find that passion for yourself, for over the summer!

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.
