College is all fun and games until we realize we need to get back to our homes one day or the other every year for a reality check. Summer is the best time for that because it's not only a long break, but it's summer!

Here's a list of a few things you should have definitely done during the break.

1. Realizing family is important

Before the beginning of the long break, we anticipate the end of the break to come as soon as possible, because who would want to live without friends for so long? However, the moment you see your family after the completion of one or two semesters, you realize that they are the ones who're here to stay for you, beside you, no matter what.

2. CATCHING UP!

No matter how long you've been busy keeping up with college, you cannot miss the one or two chance(s) in a year to catch up with your old friends and cousins. Revive old talks, create new memories and make sure to keep in touch during the whole academic year. Spend as much time as possible with them!

3. Trips trips trips

Despite everything around, we all need to go out somewhere for a few days with our family or friends. According to many doctors, new places and new people help the mind and soul feel better. A getaway is NEEDED!

4. Lots of self-care

Visit the salon more often, go shopping, work out, sleep a lot more and definitely eat whatever the heart wants! Remember: summer is not coming again this year!

5. Try out new stuff

Yes, this is the best way to spend the long vacation. Make it count! Try something you haven't before. That might be a new place, new activity, new job, or new interest. You never know, you may find a hidden passion/talent in you

6. Brace yourselves for the next academic year!

And here we are... almost at the end of our three month long summer break! Get ready to miss your family and pet, and look forward to a new beginning. Prepare yourselves for the busy days ahead and hope to be better in the coming days!

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.
