Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is one of the most fun activities you will try. Regardless if you are just climbing around and testing your skills, or challenging yourself on the hardest vertical, it is such a fun activity that more people need to try. Not only is it super fun to do with friends, but you will also work new muscles and gain some great leg and hand strength.

Pottery Painting

Painting pottery is like coloring, but on something, you can use later on and show off to friends. Many towns have to paint your own pottery places where there are pre-made ceramics just waiting to be painted. Whether it is a little trinket or a mug, take a night out and paint something for yourself, a friend, or a loved one.

Do a Puzzle

Puzzles have such a bad rep of being an activity for lonely old people. However, don't knock them until you've tried doing a puzzle on wine Wednesday night. Think regular puzzles are too easy or boring? I challenge you to try to circular puzzles or, even harder, the double sided puzzles. Spend a few days racking your brain on a puzzle where both sides on the same image, then tell me they are only for lonely old people.

Bake Some Treats

Baking is always a fun and delicious way to take a break. Heat the oven up, get our your favorite songs to jam to and bake away. Everyone loves some homemade cookies or brownies, but why not step outside the box and try to create some holiday-themed cake pops or treats.

DIY Project

Have you ever thought about turning an old window frame into a unique photo display case? Pinterest is the mother load when it comes to DIY projects. Whether you want to create a festive holiday decoration, or are looking for ways to bring a new life to an old piece of furniture. The best part is you can even look up dollar store DIY projects for those of us living on a college budget.

Try a Fun Workout Class

Everyone has been all about the yoga fad that seems to have taken over the internet, but what about the other fitness classes there are? Consider something that you would have never thought of like aerobics, a spin class, or even an intro to dance class for beginners. They may not be a weekly habit for you, but they can be a fun little break to try something new and have a good laugh with friends.

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.
