Things To Do Before Summer Ends

As the first few weeks of August have flown by it becomes clear that school will be starting soon. Before you worry about moving in, back to school shopping, or ordering your textbooks, here are some things to do before summer is officially over. Sometimes we forget about the people and things we will miss during the year, so plan your time wisely!

1. Binge Watch at Least 1 Show


There are only a few weeks left in the summer. Sure you can binge watch TV anytime, but only in the summer you can do so without guilt. No papers, readings or assignments can hold you back! Choose a show that needs your undivided attention that cannot be squeezed in-between classes and meal times.

2. Visit Your Favorite Hometown Eatery (or eateries)

Soon you won’t be able to grab that amazing slice of pizza or super tasty ice cream down the street from your home. Make sure to get all of your food fixes in before you go back to meal plans and restaurant chain food.

3. Visit Relatives/Friends

The school year flies by and many times it becomes hard to leave on the weekends to visit all of your loved ones. Take time this summer to visit those you’ll be missing throughout the year. All of the support and encouragement will help you buckle down and inspire you when things get overwhelming.

4. Midnight Drives with the Windows Down

Whether you are out for a late night Wawa run or simply do not want to go home just yet, make sure to put the windows down and cruise to your favorite tunes. Fall nights will soon be too chilly for this activity. And honestly, when do you get a chance to aimlessly drive around during the year?

While it is great to think about your upcoming busy school year, the truth is it will be here sooner than you actually would like. Don’t forget to take time to see the important people in your life as well as to do the things that are best enjoyed in the summer months.

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.
