A Lazy Person's Guide To A Fun Summer
Sliptalk

If you plan on spending your summer laying in bed and binge watching Netflix because you are too lazy to come up with fun ideas then don’t worry, this article is here to help. Coming from a lazy person as well, I know how much summer is a struggle for you to come up with fun activities to do. Through extensive research of looking through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, I have put together a list for the lazy person guide to a fun summer.

1. Read a book once a month

2. Lay out in your backyard and tan (bonus if you have a pool)

3. Take random road trips to places you have never been to

4. Learn to cook and prepare a three-course meal (for yourself or others)

5. Take multiple beach trips

6. Explore different bars

7. Sip N Paint

8. If you have a dog, go on daily walks or go to the dog park once a week

9. If you have a cat, teach it to go on walks (cutest thing ever seeing a cat in a harness)

10. Go to a concert

11. Hang out with friends you haven’t seen in awhile

12. Get a part time job so you can enjoy the next point and not feel broke

13. Treat yourself and go on shopping sprees

14. Go to a midnight premiere of a movie

15. Do trivia night at a local bar

16. Go to baseball games (extra points if you get on the MegaTron)

17. Go on a walk or run everyday or once a week or even once a month

18. Go to an amusement park

19. Get an internship

20. FFFT (forced family fun time)

21. Volunteer at your local Humane Society

22. Go fishing

23. Redesign your room

24. Put together a puzzle

25. Actually go outside and enjoy the fresh air

26. Do some DIY projects for your room or college dorm

27. Dedicate one day once a month to eating junk food and movie watching with your BFF

28. Go on picnics

29. Take lots and lots of pictures

30. Just enjoy life every single day

Make this a competition in your friend group and see who can accomplish all of these activities. Winner gets the pride of being active this whole summer. HAGS.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
