Summer Bucket List 2016

Trying to find something to do after a long school year? Look no further!

Summer Bucket List 2016
Huffington Post

This past year was a big one for a lot of people my age; freshman year of college. Living on your own for the first time, meeting all new people and being presented with an entirely new way of living. I could go one forever. In short, I want to continue to try new and unusual things, you should too.

Spontaneous Car Trips

Have you ever heard someone say, “Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned”? Take a car trip to the beach one day. Grab your friends, a bathing suit, towel and some sunblock, you’ll be set!


Get A Job

Even though we have a little more than three months off from school, we shouldn’t completely forget a hardworking mind set.

Drive-In Movie


Go To The Park

The summer is all about enjoying the warm, beautiful weather. You could even take your dog or a group of friends with you and have a game of Frisbee.


Disney Movie Night

Grab all your classic Disney movies, order some take out and snuggle up with your favorite blankets with a group of your friends.


Learn A New Recipe

Rather than just making a sandwich every night, learn to make something on your own. Pinterest has recipes that are easy to follow and will teach you how to become a chef in no time!


Watch Fireworks


Make A Stranger Smile

Leave a positive note on their windshield, smile at someone as you pass them, or even something as simple as holding the door. Do something for others.


Volunteer At Your Local Pet Shelter

With the free time that you have this summer break, donate your time to the shelter closest to you. The best part is: you get to spend your day with cats and dogs at no expense. You get to leave knowing you did something worthwhile that day.


Do Something That Scares You.

Go on a ride on the boardwalk that you refuse to go on. Tell that person how you feel about them.


This summer should be all about going out of your comfort zone. We have done so many things on our own this past year, why stop there?

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.
