Summer a time where our music gets a little louder, the nights get later, our skin gets darker.

Life is better! With plans and bucket lists of the things, you want to do this summer. It's important to remember the essentials you will need to survive this summer!

1. Swimsuit

This is one thing you will need if your planning to go the beach or lounge around by the pool. Try places like Target, Walmart, JC Penny's and more places for cute suits at an even better price!

2. Sunglasses

Your eyes will thank me later! Buy a nice pair or even a cheap pair to keep in your purse or car.

3. Sunscreen

Sunburns are no joke. Keep sunscreen in your purse or beach bag whenever you know you're going to be in the sun for a long time.

4. A beach towel

It doesn't have to be expensive, but a new towel is always a good idea. With the beach trips and days at the pool, they wear fast.

5. A cover-up

These are super handy if you're at the beach or at someone's house for a pool party! And depending on which one you buy, they can even be worn around after if you choose to go to lunch or things like that.

6. A refillable water bottle

On 90 degree days, having a cold water bottle will be handy! It's super important to stay hydrated on warm days!

7. Beach Bag

This allows you to keep your phone, favorite book from getting wet. They also come in so many cute styles, and make cleaning out the sand a breeze!

8. A cooler/Insulated bag

This isn't a necessity for everyone, but if you know you're going to be spending most of your summer at the beach or camping. This might be something to invest in.

9. Aloe

Because some of you chose to ignore number 3. Aloe and any after sun moisturizer are so helpful to tackle those pesky sunburns. To make the aloe feel even better on your skin, keep it in the fridge!

10. An outfit you feel confident in!

Summer is a time for everyone to shine and embrace the warm weather. Buy an outfit that you feel good in! It's also a good idea to keep or bring a pair of spare clothes with you if you're going to the pool or beach. That way you don't have to walk around in damp clothing all day!

11. Flip Flops

Old Navy is the way to go on this one. With so many different colors, buy a couple pairs and they will last all summer!

12. A hat

Another way to protect your skin from the sun, a hat can easily hide a bad hair day and keep you protected!

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.
