Dear Summer...

From your biggest fan.

Dear Summer...
Kayla Garrison

Dear Summer,

Thanks for all the memories, all the late nights, all the friendships made, and for the time to get back to myself. Sometimes I think God created the you just to give us that deep breath we need. After a long day its nice to come home and the sun still be lit high in the sky at 8 p.m. and be able to sit on my porch and watch as another day fades away. Thank you for giving me those few extra daylight hours. Thank you for the friendships made. Summer gives us a little more free time to and the warm weather calls for more activities to do with our friends. But most of all thank you sweet sweet summertime for giving me a little extra time to get back to myself.

1. Extra Daylight

The extra daylight you give me allows me for more time with my family and friends. The family get-togethers last longer, the talks deeper and the days become more meaningful when you have a little extra sunshine. Cookouts can last longer, conversations go later into the night and most of all, kids have more playtime. That is certainly one of my favorite childhood memories.

2. Memories

Memories are my favorite part of you. Thank you for the memories with my family on the lake, the days spent rocking on the front porch watching the sun go down, the nights spent with my lover and with my friends. Memories are what I hold tightest to.

3. Friendships

The friendships made during summer are the part of summer that lasts throughout the year. Thanks for your lasting impression.

4. Relaxation

Relaxation of summer time is what most of us look forward to all year round. Relaxing with our loved ones on our yearly trip to the beach and coming back to reality for a while. It is truly the best.

Sincerely,

Your biggest fan

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.
