5 Ideas For Summertime
Catherine Linnihan

The weather is starting to get hot outside and it is the month of May. Schools will be letting out soon. You know what that means! It is summertime! While summer is fastly approaching, you may be wondering what you might do while having a break of school for a couple of months! I have some suggestions for you that might be helpful!

1. Go Shopping!

Who does not like shopping? Go to a mall or to a store that you have been wanting to go to for a while and enjoy it while you have the time! Whether you have the money or not to shop, it is still fun to window shop , so you can items to your wish list!

2. Take a vacation!

Why would you not take a vacation unless you did not have the money! Most people go to the beach as their vacation for the summer. You could also go to the beach, Gatlinburg, Tn., Walt Disney World, Chattanooga, Tn.,and other popular/major cities in the United States! People sometimes travels overseas to see how other countries are like. Whatever vacation you decide to go on, I bet it will be a good vacation!

3. Go to camp!

If you are in elementary, middle school, or high school, find a local church or organization and go with them to a local camp! Some people goes to camps where you have a community bathroom and different cabins and some others goes to camps where amenities like a hotel or at least to where the cabin/facility has a bathroom located in it. Camp is always fun and enjoyable! I always enjoyed it when I was a camper every summer! Usually when you go to camp, you have recreation every day, devotions and worship services if you go on a church camp and various other things that all depends on what type of camp you go on! Some other camps could be associated with school, like sports camps or band camps to get you prepared and focused for the season! They are usually for most of the day for a week, if not longer. Camp was always a highlight to my summer!

4. Get a job!

Everyone could have some extra money in their wallets to either spend or save for later! You could work at a fast food restaurant, clothing store, or retail store or even at a camp! Try to find a place that you think you would enjoy working for a short amount of time or take a chance and pick a place you like and see if you get the job there!

5. Spend time with family and friends!

Most importantly, take time to be with family and friends while you are not in school or while taking a break from work! Especially spend time with friends or family members that you have not seen in a while! It is always great to see familiar faces while you are taking a break from school! Hang out with some of your best friends and not have to worry about school!

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.
