In This Article:

Growing up and living in a town that is either made up of things for younger kids, spending all of your money, or the choice of doing illegal things, I always find that there isn't much to do. Well, I am sick of it. Within this article you will find things to do in your small town!

1. If you have a pottery place, you can paint something small if you don't have much money

Sure, you're spending money. It's on something you can keep forever though, so it's a win in my book.

2. Go on a drive

This might seem weird to some of you, but simply driving around can be one of the greatest things. You get to blast music, maybe have the windows down, experience new places in your town or nearby, and overall make some memories with your friends!

3. Go to the store


Alright, I know. This one sounds weird. When you live in a town with not much to do, sometimes going to the store is something you do. Whether it's Walmart, Kroger, Target, or some other random store, exploring the aisles is occasionally a good time.

4. Sit in a parking lot, park or downtown and talk about life

Talking about the future or old memories is one of my favorite things.

5. Go somewhere you've never been before

That could be a restaurant, a place to hangout, or a business. Just do it. Who knows, you could end up loving it!

6. Go stargazing

Stargazing might be a hard one on some nights. It could also be hard if you live somewhere that is not dark enough to see them.

7. Go to the movies

Yes, this one does cost money. Luckily, it doesn't cost too much.

8. Watch the sunrise or the sunset

Sunsets and sunrises are undervalued and we need to enjoy them more, so go watch one or both in one day!

9. Go "hammocking" aka lay in a hammock

Listen to some jams! Eat some snacks! Laugh a lot!

10. Go somewhere you haven't been to in a long time

The memories that come back to ya. I'll tell ya, nothing better!

11. Go to Denny's after mid-night, this one is more of an experience than something to do

Going to Denny's in the morning is so lame now. Night-breakfast is better anyways. Especially when your mind is so lost it has no idea what's happening.

12. Get coffee

A simple "hey, wanna get coffee?" can make my day.

13. If all else fails, go somewhere and eat

The fallback for every small town. It's how we lose our money so quickly.

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.
