The Plethora of Summer Emotions

It's a confusing, fun time

It's been a little over a month since school ended. I was so ready to be back home with friends and family. There was nothing that could put me in a bad mood, or so I thought. Being busy with a full time job and then not wanting to do much on the weekends takes a toll on a person. These are just some of the emotions I'm sure we are all going through this summer.

Excited.

The beginning of the summer is exciting. There are these adventures waiting for you. Your responsibilities have been cut in half and there isn't a worry in the world for you.

Bored.

After the first few weeks, you find yourself being bored out of your mind. You've already gone out on the lake, on a road trip, or working full time. It becomes a frustrating cycle of having to figure out something to do that you haven't already done.

Depressed/Lonely.

While everyone is out having the time of their lives, there is a chance that you are at home, wondering why you didn't get invited. The summer makes it easy to forget and sometimes people just don't realize they are being rude.

Content.

In the end, you just have to be happy with how your summer is going. Whether you're spending your time working or adventuring, you'll find that you can be content no matter what you're doing.

Ready for anything.

Lastly, you will be ready for any adventure or obstacle that comes your way during the summer. There might be some weekends that you're doing nothing but there might be a weekend where you make some of your best memories, just be ready for it.

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.
