When you first get home for summer, it can be hard to know what you're supposed to do with your free time. I've personally struggled with what to do with my time before my summer job starts at the end of June. I have been able to watch a lot of movies and occasionally see some of my friends, and the lucky ones get me when I'm not in my pajamas. Other than that, I've had a slow and kind of boring start to my summer. To explain how my summer has been going, I might as well use my favorite movie of all time. Thanks John Hughes for one of the best coming of age movies ever, and for helping me cure my summer boredom. So here is the beginning of summer as told by the 80's classic, The Breakfast Club:

1. All you want to do is sleep but your parents have a different idea.


2. When people ask you what your summer plans are...


3. You have time to internet stalk people and find out more than you wanted to about their lives.


4. When your parents leave you with a list of things to do but you just can't leave your bed...



5. You miss being able to go to those day-camps full of activities and joy.


6. You eat to fill the time.


7. When your friends finally ask you to hang out...

8. You must make everything and anything fun and entertaining.


9. You finally get out of the house and you see someone cute.


10. You're in between looking for a job and sitting at home.


11. But when you finally do get a job, you can get out of the house!


The start to summer can be a long process if you don't plan ahead of time but it's not all bad if you can hangout with some friends (even if it's in detention)!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
