The thought of summer is the main thing getting me through the semester. Here are some things I'd rather be doing right now.

1. Beach Trips

This picture was taken at a beach in Sicily but most of my beach trips are a bit more local! It's so nice having so many beach options nearby: Ocean City, Rehoboth, or even just my neighborhood beach!

2. Sleeping in

It can be so hard to get yourself up in the morning in time for class. I rarely get to sleep in on the weekends either because I work mainly morning shifts. Sleeping in will be so nice the summer.

3. Working more hours

I currently work at Beech on King Street but I'm planning to get a waitressing job when I go home for the summer. I look forward to working a lot because I don't have that much time to work during the school year. Being able to make a lot of money will be nice.

4. Being able to relax

This picture was taken sitting in a hammock at my nana's which is one of my favorite places to relax. It's so easy to fall asleep swaying back and forth while listening to the sounds of the waves crashing.

5. Adventuring

This picture is from Kilgore falls which is a really cool spot in Maryland! There's a waterfall, plenty of hiking trails, and also a small swimming area. It's great for a day trip which I'm sure I will be doing this summer.

6. Family cookouts

Over the summer, my family holds several gatherings while we are all home from school so we all get to spend time together. Most of the time we go to my grandparents house. Wherever we are, it is always a lot of fun.

7. Trips to D.C.

Megan Adair

D.C. is just a short metro ride away. It's super easy and I love to go frequently. There's so much to do and see from shopping to seeing the monuments, to visiting museums.

8. Going to concerts

This picture was taken at a Børns concert which was amazing! I saw him a couple years ago when he opened for the Lumineers and it was unforgettable. Concerts are so much better in the summer because they can be held outside.

9. Going on hikes

Megan Adair

Most of my hikes are not as intense as what is seen in the picture. Most of my "hikes" could just be classified as walks. It's so nice to go out walking on a nice day and just enjoying your surroundings.

10. Going on bike rides

Megan Adair

I'm fortunate enough to have some good biking trails near my house but even if you don't, you can bike pretty much anywhere! There are parks you can go to that offer good biking trails or even just going around the neighborhood is fun.

For us college students, we are so close to the end of the school year! Summer is right around the corner, so hang in there.

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.
