5 Steps To Making The Ultimate Summer Bucket List For Your HOTTEST Summer Yet

Now that we are well into summer, chances are that you've run out of ideas of what to do. Follow these steps to refill your bucket list in order to make sure you get the maximum out of your time.

Step One:

Compile a list of your favorite activities. Whatever you enjoy doing, whatever that makes you happy. This list should have the things that you would do if you had nothing else to do and no one watching.

Make sure this is what you enjoy — not what others will tell you to enjoy.

Step Two:

Make a list of all the things that you wish you could do. These are the things that you've been making excuses for.

These are the things you can't get out of your head, and keep begging you to try them out.

This can be anything from a hobby that you've always wanted to try out, so self-improvement, just make sure that the things on this list are a reflection of your potential.

Step Three:

If you feel like there aren't enough items on your list, get on social media. There are hundreds of short and sweet challenges being introduced daily. Chances are, at least a couple of these will be appealing to you, so make sure you check them out!

Step Four:

Starting thinking outside of your comfort zone, and write down what comes up. This can be anything that you wouldn't do normally, but you know you want to learn one point or the other.

Now is the time to push yourself and try something new and daring in order to come out better for it in the future.

Step Five:

Remove things that are not physically possible from all lists. I'm not talking about the things you don't want to try to finish. I'm talking about things that are unrealistic expectations that do nothing but make you feel worse about yourself when you inevitably fail at them.

Don't aim to sprint a marathon if you just learned how to run. Make sure the goals are attainable.

This also goes for other possible restrictions such as money or ability.

Now that you've made your bucket lists, try to work one thing from each list each day on a rotating schedule and make sure you work on your comfort-boundary-pushing task every day. I do sincerely hope you come out better at the end of this summer!

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.
