Phases Of Being Outside During the Summer

For the days when we're not out by the pool.

Phases Of Being Outside During the Summer
Wiltshire

Now that it's getting warmer and finals have come and gone, it's finally summer!

Yes, it's finally summer, the time of the year that we have all been waiting for. The days of laying out in the sun with your shades on and possibly a drink in your hand are in full swing.

But, sometimes, we're not always gonna be laying by the pool or at the beach. There are those days where it will be too hot and too humid and there isn't a body of water for us to jump in, and I feel like we've all been there.

So, here are the phases of being outside on those extremely hot days.

When you look out the window and see that it's sunny, and the weather report says that it's going to be a nice day -- no rain in the forecast at all.

You then get ready for the day. You put on a really cute outfit, fix up your hair and apply waterproof makeup so that nothing will budge.

Then, as soon as you have one foot out the front door, your hair turns into a huge frizz ball, and you have to put it up immediately. Goodbye, cute hair, nice knowing you.

After standing, or even walking, in the heat for two minutes, you're sweating profusely and desperately try to cool off by fanning yourself with anything close to you.

Instantly, the next thought that you have is:

"That's it, I'm done with the heat. I want to go inside where there is air conditioning, right now. I need the cold. I need water. I just need to be out of the heat."

You then finally find some type of ice cold drink and start to chug it immediately, hoping it will cool you down, even if it's just a little.

You retreat back home and as soon as you get inside, you sit in front of the fan and cool off for as long as your heart desires and stay inside for the rest of the day.

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.
