8 Things To Do This Summer

In This Article:

School is OUT and summer is HERE! Not only is it the best time of year, but a great time to get out and experience new things. Here are a few things for you to do this summer!

1. Hiking

If you're lucky like me, you have a ton of beautiful trails near you! Simply find a trail, grab a water and snack and GO. This is a perfect way to get some exercise and embrace the outdoors.

2. Create a Healthy Routine

College life can be so busy that it can be hard to establish a healthy routine. This summer I want you to eat your fruit and veggies, get enough sleep, wear sunscreen, and workout. Your body will thank you and don't worry, you can still have that ice cream sundae.

3. Go To a Fair

Fairs are SO MUCH fun! Luckily, summer is prime time for fairs and I am almost certain everyone has one near them. Grab some friends and eat as much cotton candy and fried dough as you want.

4. Camping

Personally, I have never went camping, but it seems like it could be a lot of fun! Camping is almost always pretty cheap (#brokecollegestudents) and there are plenty of campsites. Find a campsite, grab your hotdogs and stuff to make s'mores and you are ready to go.

5. Go To a Drive In Movie Theater 

Drive in theaters are so much fun! Something about sitting in the back of your car on a July summer night with popcorn in hand is so special and just screams summer to me. If you aren't lucky enough to have one near you, dont let that stop you! You can easily DIY your own and do it in your backyard.

6. Attend a Concert

Summer concerts are the best!! Especially if you love country music, you are in luck.

7. Have a Picnic

Head to your local park and have a picnic. Something about food outside is just so much more enjoyable (until a bird wants a bite of your sandwich).

8. Lay By The Pool

When all else fails, lay by the pool.

There is no reason to be bored this summer with these 8 ideas! Enjoy summer, it (sadly) goes by way too quickly.

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.
