1. Go to concerts or festivals.

From free concerts to music festivals such as Firefly, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, and Boston Calling, the possibilities and locations are endless. See this link for more details: https://seatgeek.com/tba/festivals/music-festivals...

2. Sleep under the stars.

Whether you choose a popular camping spot or your very own backyard, sleep outdoors for a night.

3. Visit a new city.

If you have the time and money, book a plane ticket, buy a bus ticket, hop on a train, or drive with a friend. Whatever it may be, go to a city you've always wanted to see in person instead of in a travel magazine.

4. Purchase a portable hammock.

As soon as I get my next paycheck I'm purchasing one of these.

5. Watch fireworks.

On the Fourth of July, be sure to check out local firework shows or travel to the city or shore. Even if it's not a holiday, some towns have firework displays throughout the summer.

6. Start a blog (or any new hobby).

You never know what that summer day full of boredom could lead to.

7. Go zip lining.

Bring out your outdoors enthusiast persona.

8. Go flower picking or berry picking.

Spend the day at a farm and come home with fresh fruit and flowers that you personally cut. Here's a link for the other Bucks County residents: https://mommypoppins.com/new-jersey-kids/farms-u-p...

9. Go (mini) golfing.

Is it really summer without it?

10. Try a new coffee shop.

If you've been to all the coffee shops in your town, make a small road trip out of the day. Grab your friends and head to the next town over to discover a new restaurant, cafe, or coffee shop.

11. Go rock jumping.

Definitely make sure it has rained recently, or go to a park that people visit often.

12. Visit a State Park or National Park.

There may be a State Park closer to you than you think. If you're feeling adventurous, take a trip to a State Park, or rather National Park, that you've never been to.

13. Buy a pet.

If it's a spur-of-the-moment type of thing, a fish is probably your best bet.

14. Paint a room in the house.

Fix up your bedroom, lighten up your office, or offer to paint a room in the house for a family member.

15. Make a new friend or visit a friend.

College is wonderful because you get the chance to meet people from all over. Take advantage of the summer break and pay your friends a visit!

16. Become your best self.

Get that haircut you've been wanting for a while. Treat yourself and get your nails done. Work when you can and read more books. Take more pictures. Cook more meals. Travel alone. Slowly become your best self 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.

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.
