Summer is finally here and while I have to take summer classes, I still want to have some fun. My freshman year was intense and my summer may be busy too. That doesn't mean I can't have fun outside or go on some fun adventures. It is finally warm enough up north to do multiple things that are dangerous and difficult to do in the winter (you can't swim outside when it is snowing). Being a Floridian I cannot wait to do water-related activities and other fun things as well. Hopefully, these give you ideas for your own summer.

Going to the water park

I love water parks so much. They have something for everyone and in my opinion, are much better than some roller coasters.

The pool

The pool has something for everyone. You can swim, dip your feet in, or sun bathe. Just make sure to use sunscreen.

Paddle boarding

I remember going paddle boarding while on vacation and it was so simple and fun. Something everyone should try out sometime.

Jet skiing

Jet skiing is so much fun! Whether you are driving the jet ski or riding behind someone, this is a nice way to cool off on a nice summer day.

Horseback riding

Going on a horse doesn't have to be hard. It is actually peaceful and fun to sit on a horse. Just don't be nervous because they can sense stress.

Zip lining

Zip lining can look scary but it feels so freeing. I felt like I was literally flying.

Go on a picnic

When it isn't as humid outside, go on a picnic and enjoy the weather while eating yummy food. Bonus points if the view is scenic and no bugs join.

Go to the boardwalk

Boardwalks are so much fun. They will have multiple restaurants and rides as well as a view of the ocean. Just try not to go to one full of tourists.

Roller skating

While this takes a while to get used to, once you get it, it's a blast.

 Hiking

I love a gorgeous hike, and most of the time, they're free. You could go on a classic hike or try something new. Please, make sure to check for ticks.

 Go to outdoor markets

During the summer, whether it has clothes, food, vintage items, or anything else, markets have so much cool stuff to look at. Even if you aren't interested in buying anything.

 Explore a city

For those who live near a big city or are willing to road trip, explore a city. They are all so different and are so cool to explore.

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.
