The sun is out, there are no more 8 AM lectures to worry about, and the beach is now our second home. Now that we have a break from all of the craziness that comes with being a college student, we have all of the time in the world to relax and enjoy ourselves as a nice break from hitting the books. But that doesn't mean our summers still aren't wild with unexpected twists and turns throughout the way.

1. Having to be away from all of your college friends for 3 months

Take me back... now. Three months is an eternity.

2. Working endless hours at your job to make money and pay off loans

You gotta get money somehow, but you also need sleep

3. Trying to stay in shape before going back to school and ordering out 24/7

GTL is your new motto.

4. But also overeating on your family's cooking because you missed high quality home-cooked meals

Almost anything will beat dining hall food.

5. Trying to find a summer fling or relationship but failing

Guess I'll still be forever alone.

6. Missing going out on the weekends at school with your friends

At school there's no curfew or parents telling you what to do, and at home there's no frats nearby.

7. Trying to avoid the people from home that you thought you wouldn't see anymore after high school

Leave me alone, I don't know you.

8. Being bored all the time since you have to plan everything with friends instead of walking down the hall to hang out with them

Instead of being only a few doors down from you in a dorm, your friends are now a car ride away and everything has to be planned in advance, which is just work.

9. Trying to constantly avoid your family when they give you more responsibilities

I love you guys, but summer is my only time off from adulting.

10. At this point we're just waiting to go back to college

When's move in day?

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.
