I tend to think of entertaining and fun ideas every summer however, I rarely ever follow through with those ideas! This summer, I have decided to encourage myself to follow through with my plans and not regret it once the weather drops. Here are five things every person should do this summer!

1. A Picnic!

Although it's quite cliche, it's a must-do every summer. Either spontaneous or planned, a picnic is a greta way to spend less money whilst spending a great amount of time with friends and people you have yet to catch up with.

2. An Evening at an Amusement Park

Towards the end of June and beginning of July, most amusement parks stress fireworks on Friday evenings or nights. Amusement parks are more exciting and thrilling when it's almost dark outside! Try out a roller coaster ride with your friends and grab summer treats after!

3. Spending a Day to Fill In Your Calendar


I advise everyone to use a calendar during summer vacation to make sure you're not forgetting a hangout, vacation, road trip, and etc. Using your calendar will organize your time spent towards your job/internship, hangouts/plans, trips, and studies.

4. Hiking

Try out a new place when hiking or revisit your old hiking adventure! Hiking is a great way to either spend some quality time alone or with a close friend. There's also a different type of thrill in adventuring out to the unknown!

5. A Movie Night at Home

Sometimes it's nice to just watch one of your favorite movies at home or invite some friends over to binge-watch all of your favorite or least favorite movies.

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.
