5 Summer Bests

In This Article:

It has been one full week of summer and I have done absolutely nothing. This may be due to the fact that none of my friends are home or that it has been raining nonstop for days on end, but I really think it has to do with the exhaustion of finals. We work so hard studying that we lose sleep, our well being, and most of our sanity. Now that I have caught up on rest, there are a few aspects of summer that I am so excited to enjoy.

1. The sunshine

Whether this be by hiking, laying by the pool, going to the beach, or having a picnic, there is nothing like soaking up some Vitamin D.

2. The traveling

Each summer my high school friends and I like to travel to a new place in order to explore a different part of California's beauty. In the past we have gone to Newport Beach, San Luis Obispo, and Yosemite, and I can't wait to see what this summer holds!

3. The food

All of my favorite restaurants that I am not able to get at school are available for the entire summer. My friends and I have our favorite Italian restaurant, bagel place, sandwich shop, and ice cream place so I can't wait to indulge!

4. The freedom

In the summer, besides my part-time internship, I have the freedom to hop in my car and do whatever I want. I am not taking classes, so I have so much more time to explore and hang out with the people I love.

5. The friends and family

I think the best part of all of these things are that I get to spend so much time with the people I love and don't get to see the majority of the year!

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.
