Dear Graduating Seniors,

High school is almost over. While this is a very exciting time with prom, graduation, and the best four years of your life right in front of you, it is important to cherish the time you have left with your friends from high school. You only have a few months left with some of the people that you've grown up with. Here are 10 things you should do before you all part ways in August.

1. Go on random late night car rides. 

Some of the best nights of your life are spent driving in a car with your best friends until 2 A.M. When you go to college, you most likely won't have access to a car. Grab your keys, go pick up your best friends, and go for a late night drive. You won't regret it.

2. Eat at your favorite hometown spots. 

Take advantage of all the food you love at home. Trust me, you will definitely miss your mom's home cooked meals, and your favorite restaurants in your hometown. College is great, but the food definitely isn't!

3. Go for a beach trip. 

This an obvious summer activity, but take time to plan trips with your friends and family. If your high school hosts a Senior Weekend at the beach... GO! Get tan and make some memories!

4. Go to graduation parties. 

Graduation season is a very busy time, but take advantage of all the final get-togethers. Soon, you won't be seeing the people who have seen everyday since elementary school.

5. Spend time with the people who matter most. 

It is important to remember to make time for the people who matter most While it is fun to spend the summer with friends, it is also important to spend time with family. For many people, college is the first time they are completely independent. This summer, hang out with your Dad, go see a movie with your Mom, and drive your little annoying brother around because soon you won't see them everyday.

Enjoy the summer, and get ready for the best four years of your 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.
