In This Article:

Finals are over & summer is here! Make way for the beach, lots of free time, and no schoolwork!!

.... unless you are interning or taking summer classes. or working. or for student-athletes, there is never an offseason.

Here is a list of all the thoughts that the average student has while heading home from college and heading into summer.

1. "How in the world am I going to fit all of this into my car?"

If you lived on campus, this is a big issue. Will I really need all of these t-shirts I got from on campus events?? Packing extraordinaires, help needed!!

2. "Wow, I need a job."

How am I supposed to do all of the things on my summer bucket list if I have no money?

3. "I can't wait for my parents to pay for everything again."

Nothing better than schmoozing off of your parents' annual income and living rent-free for a few months. Goodbye internet bill!!!!! .... for now anyway.

4. "I don't have to worry about school for like, 3 whole months."

When driving home, this is probably the thought that gets you so excited that you go 85 without even realizing it.

6. "Crap, I forgot I signed up for summer classes online."

And this will slow you back down. Don't forget the summer semester starts sooner than you think!

6. "I am going to have so much free time!"

Ha, you thought. Say goodbye to binge-watching Netflix and say hello to summer online classes and internships.

7. "I'm going to work out all the time."

Hahahaha except when you accidentally watch Netflix until 2 a.m. and you sleep the entire next day away. Or when you go outside to run and walk right back inside because 90 degrees with 100% humidity just wasn't part of your plan.

8. "I'm going to get so tan!"

Now this one is actually a little bit easier to do. Whether it be the beach or the lake, the river or the pool, getting sun is the summer is a MUST and is actually pretty easy to do.

9. "Wow I'm going to miss all of my college friends."

But what about all of your hometown friends? Summer is such a great time to catch up with your old pals that either stayed home or went to another university.

Whether you are staying busy with schoolwork or catching some rays at the beach, this summer is a good time for relaxation from the bustle of college life.

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.
