It's finally summer, but the weather doesn't seem to agree. In Michigan, the weather hasn't been as great lately, and there have been a lot of rainy days even though it's supposed to be summer! I've been pretty bored some days, especially when it's raining. I'll be hanging out with friends, it starts pouring, and then our plans are ruined. So here are some ideas that will help make the best of your summer-even on the rainy days!

1. Binge Netflix

Find a new recipe to try out and take some time to cook. This can be a fun thing to do with a friend or your significant other as well!

5. Clean

This might not be as fun as some of the other ideas, but a rainy day is a good time to be productive if you're staying indoors. Blast some music and clean your house or go through stuff in your room.

6. Play some games

Have a board game night with your friends or family. See how competitive it can get.

You can paint canvases, mugs, glasses- almost anything. Get crafty!

8. Make bracelets

Make beaded or thread bracelets like you did when you were younger- even make friendship bracelets!

9. Cuddle

It's a rainy day so snuggle up in bed and cuddle while watching movies with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

10. Movie marathon

Find a movie series and have a marathon with friends or family. This is especially a good one when it's pouring and if you've got all day. Grab some good snacks to go along too.

11. Do yoga or work out

Try some yoga! Take a class or watch some videos online. You could drive to your local gym or even do an at-home work out if you don't want to face the rain.

12. Watch YouTube

There's TONS of stuff to watch on YouTube, no matter your taste. Find some new channels you like and watch some videos.

13. Arcade

Going to an arcade can be a fun thing to do. It can also be a good rainy day date idea too!

14. Bowling

Get a group of people together to play a couple games.

15. Video Games

Play some old games or some new ones. Make a little tournament out of it, and have some fun!

16. Rock climbing

Go indoor rock climbing with a friend or a group of friends and see how you do.

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.
