First Day of Summer

Summer is Finally Here

First Day of Summer
HerCampus

In 6 days, I will finally be headed home to the comfort of my own room, bed, and food. Yes, I will miss college, but I love not having class and any immediate responsibilities waiting for me the next day in the early morning. Though it is finals week, I've already made a list of plans for what I'll be doing the first day of summer vacation off from college (until of course, I start my summer job as a camp counselor).

1) Cry in joy as I wake up from a peaceful slumber in my own room with no alarm blaring to wake me up for class.
Wow. I never thought this day would come. Finally. No school, freedom, breakfast in bed, not needing to sleep in my own bed with an excuse for "a night trip". No judgement.

2) Start watching TV
Fortunately, now that I have no homework to do, I can finally catch up on tv, AND start new tv shows. Thank God for modern technology and the Jesus of our time: Netflix <3

3) Make breakfast
Eh, eating isn't that important. I need to see if Olivia Pope and Fitz are gonna get back together AGAIN. (I hate the indecisiveness of their relationship, but they're so cute together, UGH)

4) Answer texts and phone calls now that I'm on vacation
Ok, I know this is pretty important to do while not doing anything else important, but ugh, I hate hearing the sound of generic Apple tones going off every 5 seconds.

5) Unpack
The worst part of vacation. Unpacking my life in my room, and scattering things all over the house just so it doesn't get too hot during the summer. Sorry mom and dad; but this is what happens when I have the hottest room in the house :P

6) SLEEP
True Story: This past week, I got a total of 31 hours of sleep. I think this will be the only thing I'll be doing during the whole break. So, I can effectively just scratch this list, as sleep is life.

Well, here's a complete, total and satisfying list to just get me through the first day of break. Though the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to summer vacation, we might as well focus on today, and get through the rest later.

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.
