Summer Time Is Your Time!

Don't let the Heat beat You

Summer Time Is Your Time!
Padi

School is over and now it is time for real fun! Summer is here and there are plenty of things to do so do not let this time pass you by. When the sun wakes up, get up and greet it with these few ways to get out and get moving. Boredom should never set in when the sun is smiling!

The Circus

The circus is a great way to bring out your inner child. Go and watch, laugh and enjoy! There is no rush to get to sleep for school the next day so you can relax and soak it all in!

Summer Concert Series

In most major cities, there are bound to be artist passing through to promote a new album, or possibly ding a throwback tour. Look it up on local town calendars and you'd be surprised at how much of your favorite music you may have almost missed! For my fellow Buffalonians, do not forget about the Canal Side concerts; I hope to see you there!

Beaches

You look back at pictures of last summer and you look in the mirror and think, oh geez! My color! It happens to everyone. White, Black, light, and dark, every winter a little color gets drained from the body. Use this summer sun to have fun and get a beautiful new sun-kissed glow and ride the waves! For those who do not tan and immediately burn, I'm sorry! Stock up on SPF and hope for the best.

Water Wars

Okay, I know, it is HOT! In the summer, depending on where you live, it can get up to triple-digit degrees! This solution is my personal favorite. HAVE A WATER WAR! The more people you have, the more fun it is. This brings me back to my childhood because I come from a big family. With all the cousins I have, getting together enough to have a war was never a problem. It welcomes family bonding, and cools you down at the same time!


Cook Outs

\

Speaking of family bonding, why not make a few phone calls and bring out the grill? Food is always something to be happy about. This gives time for everyone to catch up, games to be played, and maybe even a pool to be filled!

Bike Riding

They say you never forget how to ride a bike. Well, let your muscle memory work for you and gather a group of friends and take an adventure. Biking is great because you get to sight see, and you get a constant breeze. Not to mention, it is actually healthy for you! Exercise that is fun? Sign me up!

Travel

Who doesn't get excited when they hear the words "road trip"? Gather two or three friends and pack the car and head where ever your hearts desire. Make it a chain road trip, and take three cars of friends and family and head to a random destination. As long as there is money for tolls, gas in the tank, and snacks, what can stop you? Make summer memories last, and do not waste this wonderful time of your life. Young, old, or middle-aged, it doesn't matter! Everyone deserves some fun! So dial up the shenanigans and laugh it up! IT IS SUMMER!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
