9 Things I'll Miss About Charleston While Home For The Summer

In This Article:

Sure, a 3 month summer sounds great, a break from school was well needed, but it also means leaving the beautiful city of Charleston.

1. The beaches

Megan Adair

I loved how there were 3 different beaches all within 20 minutes of campus and downtown. It was always nice to go to the beach after a stressful school day or to take a break from studying.

2. King Street

Megan Adair

I loved King Street, I walked on it as frequently as possible. I loved all the old looking buildings with modern stores and I liked to see the all the different people (and dogs). I would always try to go to Second Sunday on King if I didn't work, I loved to be a part of the big crowd slowly cruising down King street.

3. The architecture

Megan Adair

I could walk around downtown all day just looking at buildings and do it all again the next day. There are so many unique styles and colors of buildings, it seems impossible to see them all!

4. The sunsets

Megan Adair

Sunsets are pretty anywhere but it was so nice to walk to the Battery and get there in time to watch the sun paint the sky. I would do this often and it never gets old.

5. The street performers

The street performers would be out every Saturday and Sunday in Marion Square and I could sit and watch them for hours. They always have a new and fun routine and they just have really good energy.

6. The farmers market

Megan Adair

I wouldn't go to the farmers market that often but when I did go, it was so much fun. They have everything from homemade honeys and jams to paintings and art for sale. So many different people came together to sell their different products and I think it was fun to see what everyone had to offer.

7. The boutiques

Megan Adair

Shopping in Charleston is both fun and dangerous, it's so easy to blow your money fast. The picture shows one of my favorite boutiques, I think it's so cool and unique that it is mobile! There are countless boutiques in Charleston but they all offer different styles and fashions.

8. Rainbow Row

Megan Adair

Rainbow row was always fun to go to, I'll never get tired of it. All the different colors of the buildings really stood out and was always fun to look at.

9. The photo opportunities

Megan Adair

There are so many places in Charleston to take that perfect photo. From fences wrapped in flowers or just simple palm trees, it is very easy to find your perfect back drop.

A lot of these things you can find in other places outside Charleston but it's not the same. There's something special about Charleston and I'm going to really mss it for the next 3 months.

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.
