Well you have finished those agonizing finals, cleared out your dorm room and it looks the same from when you first entered it two semesters ago, saying good bye to all your friends, and you're finally home now sitting on your couch as your parents are still going to work and your younger siblings are still going to school. As the world appears to still be turning and everybody still has responsibilities you wonder what can you do to make your summer more productive.

While most college kids are working or still working to earn money for their degree. Now I have that catchy commercial stuck in my head from www.educationconnection.com. On the days you're not working I'll give some ideas you could do for a filled summer.

You can finish watching your shows via Netflix. We all know there is at least one season you quite haven't finished or started yet. Or now is the time to start watching either a new show or an old show that everyone keeps talking about that you should check out to see what all the fuss is.

You can go outside to a near by park or water. Even if you live in a city you could go outside and take in the scenery.

Read a book now that you don't have to read a book that cost thousands of dollars and use for only one chapter. The book can be for a movie coming out or a movie that is already out in theaters. You can go to your local library and even if they don't have it ask them to search it up in nearby libraries or ask if they can send it to your library.

Take a credit course either for an elective or for your major. It's good to keep yourself well educated. Most community colleges have summer programs that are not as costly.

Pick up more money by baby sitting, dog sitting, or house sitting. It's out of pocket and you could rack up for school or self.

Make sure to keep in contact with old and new friends. Make time to socialize outside of social media. Don't let the summer escape from you because before you know it, August is right around the corner!

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.
