Last Minute Things To Do Before Going Back To School
The Samantha Show

If you're like me you have lists of to-do's on your phone and computer. With that level of organization comes a list of things that must get done before going back to school. If you need a little help in situating what is important versus what isn't, follow this list to get some perspective.


Stock up on things for your apartment that you know you won't get once school begins.

This can include lightbulbs, cleaning supplies, and even things as basic as paper towels! Just stock up on the things that are necessary but also a hassle to get once your days become busy.

Say your goodbye's ahead of time.

The last thing you'll want to do before going back to school is say goodbye to everyone the day before you plan to leave. Get this done a week or two before so that your last days at home can be focused around you and your family.

Get a haircut.

If you're like me and never ever get your hair cut, get it done before going back to school. This will ensure a healthy year for your hair, and it can be done on your parent's credit card.

Buy new makeup.

After a long, hot summer it is very important to replace old makeup. Do this before school so you can go back without the worry of having to replace it.

Print your pictures AND buy the frames for them.

This is pretty self-explanatory but VERY necessary. Print them, frame them, and hang them as soon as you get there so you never have to stare at random people in your frames again!

Go through your closet and clean it out!

Bring only what you know you'll wear to school because there is nothing worse than an overpacked, underused closet.

Enjoy your time at home.

Once you get to school, you're there to stay for at least a little bit. Enjoy your time at home and with your friends and family.


I hope this list relieves some stress from your normal to-do list and brings you not only amazing organization, but a great peace of mind. Happy 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.
