Five Ways To Spend The Rest Of Your Time At Home

Now that you have gotten over sleeping late and mourning the end of the semester, you still have a little bit of time before you start that summer internship. It's not quite long enough to continue on with your lazy ways, and not long enough to get a job or take a class to put you ahead for next semester.

Here are five ideas to fill the awkward amount of time left in between the end of school and the start of your summer internship.

Enjoy some beach days.

Take a day trip to the beach with your friends! Enjoy the weather and take in the fact that you have no obligations to anyone, at least not for the rest of the month.

Travel

If you have the funds, go traveling for a week or so. A popular use of this time is to spend it overseas. See the ruins of Greece or go eat gelato in Rome. Anywhere you go is bound to be beautiful, so why not have some stories to tell and pictures to show on your first day of work?

Make your own challenges.

Create some sort of challenge for yourself. If you have two weeks until you start work, make it your mission to hit every one of the top 10 pizza places in NYC before then. You can challenge yourself to do one thing every day that you have never done before.

Do a weekend at the lake.

Go online and look for a cabin on a lake to rent with your friends. This can easily end up being the best part of your summer if you do it right. Gather up whoever wants to go, split the cost and bring lots of fun activity paraphernalia.

Redecorate

Use this time to take on a project. Whether it's around the house or within yourself, make this chunk of days the time you have to get this change, or "redecoration," done.

Have fun, and hang in there, the time will pass more quickly than you think!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
