Your summer, as told by your favorite Upper East Siders

Being Home For The Summer As Told By 'Gossip Girl'
Huffington Post

The one thing that got most of us through finals (and, let's be honest, the entire school year) was the fact that we knew we would be coming back home for the summer. Here are a few things you might experience this summer, as told by the cast of 'Gossip Girl.'

1. Swiftly reclaiming your rightful position in the household

2. You may be home, but recovering from finals is no joke

3. Naturally still feeling stressed because that's how you felt all school year

4. Finally being able to catch up on everything you missed while you were at school

5. Being excited to have so much more free time... but then getting super bored right away

6. When your mom says that she's too busy to hang out with you

7. Knowing that you are in the proximity of home cooking

8. Food is just a really big perk to being home

9. Realizing that with summer comes a summer job

10. You just really don't appreciate it when people remind you that you still have to work

11. Others may have high-profile internships, but you have other priorities

12. Running into everyone you knew from high school who literally mean nothing to you now

13. Missing talking to your college friends on a regular basis

14. Doing nothing all day and still complaining about everything

15. Finally, there is your summer expectation...

16. ... And then there's your summer reality

Chances are that your home isn't located on the Upper East Side. However, that doesn't mean that 'Gossip Girl' isn't relevant to your new situation of being a college student on summer break. Relax, make some money, spend time with family and friends... just soak up summer while you can. And maybe binge watch 'Gossip Girl' on Netflix while you're at it.

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.
