11 Things To Put On Your Summer Bucket List

With school ending and warmer weather coming, summer is just around the corner! Summer is a time to de-stress, hangout with friends, and bask in the sun, so why not make the most of it? Here is a list of things that will make this summer the best one yet.

1. Go to the beach.

Whether you live five minutes from the beach or five hours, everyone should spend some time sitting on the beach this summer. If you live in a beach town, try to hit up as many local beaches as possible before summer ends!

2. Road trip.

Go somewhere you've always wanted to go, visit some friends in other states, or just get in your car and drive. Summer is a time for seeing new places and exploring the unknown.

3. Hiking.

There's only a few months of glorious sunshine, what better way to enjoy it than spending time outside?! Look into some hiking trails by you and get a good workout as well as some great pictures.

4. Concerts.

I already have my summer concert tickets lined up and I couldn't be more excited! Outside venues are especially a blast. Something about summer nights and concerts just go together.

5. DIY projects.

Sometimes summer isn't all fun in the sun, but that's what DIY projects are for! Fill up your Pinterest boards and craft some things for your dorm and friends and family! Rainy days are best spent doing arts and crafts.

6. Night swimming.

Night swimming is a classic summer tradition that everyone needs to cross off their summer bucket list.

7.Watch the sun rise/ set.

Sunsets are not that difficult, but sunrises are a little bit more tricky. The sun rises and sets every day and it's truly a beautiful sight, so stop missing so many of them! Wake up early a few days and take in all nature has to offer.

8. Host/ attend a BBQ.

Nothing says summer like a good BBQ! Hot dogs and burgers are a perfect way to spend a summer night.

9. Go to a fair.

When the Fair comes to town in the summer it is the best. See where the closest one is to you, grab your friends, and hop on some rides!

10. Read.

Now that school is over there is plenty of time to read books you actually want to read! Nothing is better than sitting on the beach with a good book.

11. Adventure.

Summer is a time for adventure. Get out there, go outside your comfort zone. do the things you've always wanted to do. Relax, soak up the sun, and have a good time because it'll be over before you know it!

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.
