Things You Should Definitely Do This Summer

Summer is the perfect opportunity to relax and take a break from the stress of school, even if you're working or taking a summer class or two! If you're in need of a few ideas to get started, check out this list that'll help make the most of your summer, no matter where you're spending it:

Read

There are so many good books out there, but it can be hard to find time to read during the school year. Take some time this summer to catch up with some good books!

Visit a family or friend in another state

Chances are, you probably have at least one friend or family member living in another state, at least for the summer. Take a weekend or a day trip and go see them! It'll be great to get away from your daily routine for a weekend and they'll probably enjoy seeing you.

Travel somewhere completely new

You don't have to travel really far to find a new place or to go somewhere you've never been. Grab some friends and take a little road trip!

Cook something different

Make this summer one to try new things. If you've never cooked at all, start cooking! If you've cooked a lot, grab a new recipe and try it out.

Help a neighbor out

If you don't live in a neighborhood, reach out to a family friend who may be in need of some help. Whether you can cook a meal for them, take care of their kids for awhile or even just take their dog for a walk, help them out with the little things!

Get creative!

Spice summer up a little bit with something creative! It could be a fun craft, a backyard movie night or something else fun.

Make a summer bucket list

...and add all of these things and more to the list! You're bound to have a summer filled with fun things that are keeping you busy and enjoying the warm weather.

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.
