Home from college this summer? Bored as heck? I relate to this all too well which is why I am sharing some fun ideas to add to your bucket list for summer 2018! I think everyone should live each and every day to the fullest. Yeah we know, you miss your college, we all do. But guess what? One, you won't be there until the fall so this is a silly thing to get worked up over. Two, your parents and family have missed you just as much and really do not want to hear about how much you "hate" your hometown. It is super possible to love two places at once. Just have fun and enjoy some well deserved time off. It is never too late to turn things around.

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.

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.
