Paper Towns (July 24)

Most guys won’t willingly go watch a chick flick, but "Paper Towns" offers more than just romance. After a shy boy falls in love with an adventurous girl who disappears, he must go on a hunt to find the girl of his dreams. Comedy, adventure, and romance — something we all enjoy in life. “You have to get lost to find yourself.”

Southpaw (July 24)


Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a boxer who has to fight his way to the top after his wife (Rachel McAdams) was killed and his daughter was taken from him. He literally has to fight for redemption. This action-packed film takes an emotional toll which will keep everybody on the edge of their seat.

Vacation (July 29)


This is the comedy I am most looking forward to this whole year! A family vacation, starring Ed Helms and Christina Applegate, has once again gone berserk. Ladies, Chris Hemsworth is also featured. Just watch the trailer, and you’ll thank me later.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (July 31)


Don’t worry if you haven’t seen any previous "Mission: Impossible" films. It stars none other than Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. In this installment, Hunt dies and miraculously comes back to life. After this “failed” mission, the CIA believes that IMF is a failed agency and is terminated. Hunt and the rogue organization embark on a mission to save the IMF.

Fantastic Four (August 7)


The director, Josh Trank, takes the "Fantastic Four" in a different direction that fits in well with the other recent Marvel remakes. The group of four travel to an alternate universe and develop inhumane powers. The film revolves around each of them learning to harness their powers while defending the world against Dr. Doom.

The Gift (August 7)


You will wish you were nice to the weird kid in high school after seeing "The Gift." In this suspenseful thriller, the creepy kid from high school seeks revenge on a man who did something terrible to him when they were younger. While the trailers haven’t told us what has happened, I’m sure we are all dying to know.

Ricki and the Flash (August 7)


If you love rock 'n' roll, this one is for you. Meryl Streep stars as an atypical, rock-star mom alongside her real life daughter, Mamie Gummer. Streep also finds out her son is trying to keep his wedding from her so she will attend. Witness Streep try to rebuild a broken relationships with her children.

Masterminds (August 19)


Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig, Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis complement each other perfectly in this comedy. Wilson leads Galifianakis to steal $17 million with his partner in crime, Wiig. Sudeikis is then hired to kill Galifianakis. This film is brought to you by the directorial genius of Jared Hess, director of "Nacho Libre" and "Napoleon Dynamite."

American Ultra (August 21)


Hopefully Kristen Stewart won’t turn you away from watching this film. Jesse Eisenberg stars as a stoner who is actually a secret agent – so secret that even he didn’t know it. After a number of people try to kill him, he becomes the one to fear. Don’t miss out on this action-packed comedy.

No Escape (September 2)


I know this is leading into the fall, but I have been looking forward to this for so long I had to include it! Owen Wilson is known for comedy, but he is no stranger to action movies. After moving to Southeast Asia with his family for work, they get caught in the middle of a war. You don’t want to miss Wilson fight to save his family from this violent uprising. This one might be the new “Taken.”

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.
