Spice Up Your Summer
Tasting Table

If you’re anything like me, you moved back home for summer and you’re itching to do something with yourself. It’s not always easy coming home, no job, no real social life, and for the most part, nothing fun to do. So here’s a list of some easy fun stuff to do when you’re bored as heck.

1. Watch the movies and shows that are supposed to be leaving Netflix in a month.

Why not take the time to watch all the shows you’ve been meaning to watch before the opportunity is gone forever (jk but you’ll probably have to pay extra money).

2. Go on a Pinterest spree.

Nothing is more fun than looking up cool and fun projects that you wouldn’t normally have time to do, so get out that glue gun and start crafting!

3. Plant herb seeds in pots for your window sill.

It’ll good to give yourself a sense of responsibility by taking care of and tending to a couple plants. You can watch them grow over the summer and eventually use the herbs it produces! Plus it’ll make your place hipster as heck.

4. Make yourself a fancy breakfast.

This way you have motivation to get out of bed at a normal time instead of sleeping in all day. Plus having a really good breakfast sets you up to have a good day, even if you have absolutely nothing to do.

5. Have a dinner party.

Invite all of your friends to come over, dress up, and enjoy a meal together without any cell phones or distractions.

6. Take a long drive.

Fill up your gas tank and take a drive through the backroads of a small town. Crank the music and enjoy not having to be anywhere for any real reason.

7. Reorganize your room.

Sometimes it’s fun switching things up. Flip your bed so it faces a new direction or move your dresser to the other side of the room, either way you’re changing the energy of your space and giving yourself something to do.

8. Host a yard sale.

Cause while you’re reorganizing your room you might find some stuff that you might not necessarily want, but don’t want to throw it away either. Set up a table in the front yard and make some money.

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.
