Everyone is looking for something to do in the summer. We no longer have classes to worry about, so we have to find something else to fill the void. I've come up with a list of some really fun activities to do in the summer that will fill that gap perfectly and they are things to do when you don't want to break the bank!

1. Go To The Lake/ City Pool

Grab a few friends and head to your local lake! It's a super fun way to get your tan on and cool off a bit!

2. See A Movie At A Drive-In Theater

Tickets for these theaters are relatively inexpensive and it is a great way to spend time with friends and cure the summer disease- boredom.

3. Grab A Friend And Go Shoot Some Cool Instagram Pictures

C'mon, we all want our feeds to look pretty. Take a friend or two and have them take pictures of you all around the city or take some pictures with them in them. If you just walk or drive around you can find some really awesome backgrounds.

4. Camp In Your Backyard

Camping with your friends or family can be really fun. Just take a sleeping bag outside and watch the stars as you fall asleep. Don't take any food or you WILL attract wild animals!

5. Write In A Journal

Write about your crushes, you wildest dreams, and even your fondest memories!

6. Rearrange Your Bedroom

Doing this can make you feel like you're living in a whole new space! Throw away some of the things you haven't even looked at in years, it WILL make you feel better.

7. Give Yourself An At-Home Spa Day

This could do wonders for your mental health, skin, and help to bring that inner beauty out! It can also make you feel super clean (and cure that summer bored feeling).

8. Make Something Crafty And Give It To Someone You Love

Everyone loves getting gifts from their kids/ grandkids, no matter the extent of how expensive or how much time was spent making it. Brighten their day while filling you free-time summer gap!

9. Take Some Buzzfeed/ Internet Quizzes

You HAVE to see which Kardashian you relate most to, or if you are an introvert or extrovert based on your restaurant order.

10. Make A Youtube Video About Literally Anything

The internet is a really awesome place. It is also a place where a video of a cat twirling around in circles can go viral. Who knows, maybe you'll look back on them one day and be happy you have those memories to hold on to.

11. Do A Workout/ Get Fit

Working out does wonders for your body, take your boredom and turn it into fitspiration!

12. Earn Some Money $$$

You can earn some extra money by selling your old things on apps such as letgo, or you can make some money by taking surveys online, or just get a job! You could fill your summer by working, not the most fun, but it is still an option!

13. Lastly, Just Spend Time With Friends And Family

Even if you're still bored, at least you won't be bored alone. After all, they do love you.

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.
