Cook Outs And 9 Other Summertime Activities

Almost everyone loves summer time. Beach vacations, car rides with the windows down and pool days. There are many fun activities for almost everybody to enjoy in the heat!

1. Cruises with your best friends

One of the absolute most fun things to do is go on a car ride with the people you love with the most! Find a road, roll your windows down and play your favorite songs on full volume. This is one of the best things you can in the summer when the sun is setting for as long as you want.

2. Music Concerts/Festivals

If you're a lover of music, find a friend just like you. Concerts are always the best in the summertime. Grab your favorite summer outfit, music buddy and hit the road to go to a concert and have some fun in the sun.

3. Pool Parties

Who doesn't love swimming when the sun is blazing hot? Pool parties, or even going to a lake or pond is the best way to beat the heat. Apply sunscreen, (unless you don't burn easily), grab some fruit and water and hit the pool for the day!

4. Tie Dye

Have a plain white shirt? or even shorts or a headband? Go to the store and grab your favorite tie-dye colors and start making your own clothes. Tie Dye is one of the most fun and simplest things you can do when you're just sitting at home looking for something fun to do.

5. Cook-outs

Food made outside always tastes the best in summer. Have your best friends, and even family members out for dinner and grill out. Hamburgers and hotdogs are always a must to have at these! Throw in a little fruit and some dips and you're all set

6. Paint Fight

One of the most unusual fights, but the best. Fill up water guns and balloons with paint. This is a great way to have fun, and it makes for super cute artsy pictures after!

7. Hiking Trips

Not everybody loves to walk, but you can make it. Find a trail close to where you live and grab a group of friends. You can find the coolest scenery and take super cute pictures to always have with you

8. Camping

Camping is one of the best things you can do with friends or family. If you have a camper, great. If you just have tents, that's just as great. Go to any place you want that you can camp at, and make the most of it. Camping close to a lake is always better because you will get to swim all day in the sun and then sit out at a campfire by the lake that night. (you'll also get to see the stars)

9. Movie nights outside

Plan a night one night with your closest friends and set up a screen outside. You can hook up a projector watch your favorite movies on a big screen and have the joy of being outdoors

10. Bike rides

Grab your bikes and don't even bother pulling up a GPS. Start riding your bike and go for as long as you want! Plan on stopping for ice-cream or drinks at least sometime during the day! Bike rides can be peaceful and might just be what you need for the day.

Summertime is one of the best times of the year. Make the best of it and do what makes you happy. You don't always have to take pictures to remember all of the fun times you had!

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.
