Wait, Where Has the Time Gone?

Wait, Where Has the Time Gone?

It is officially the end of June, and I am officially bummed.

Sure, July is great. You have the fourth which means fireworks, stuffing your face with food from the grill, and going to the lake. But other than it, it's just misery. 

It's hot all day long, every day of the week, you can't afford to go outside and get a sunburn because who knows how long it'll take to really turn into a tan. The pool is the only place to be but even the water is hot and if you don't own your own, it's going to be packed. The lake sounds fine and dandy, but then you have to find a boat and someone to drive you around all day long. You've quickly run out of days to work to save that money you've been talking about. And then there's the talk of the summer bucket list.

I know I haven't even begun mine besides one or two things, and I'm only talking reading a book I've been dying to read and finishing House on Netflix. I haven't gone to the lake, or Schlitterbahn, or skydiving. Haven't pulled a single all-nighter, gone to the zoo, or rewatched Gossip Girl, and I certainly haven't had a bonfire. There are so many other things I am required to do; go to work (although barely), go to my internship (once a week), and work on homework (basically my life). I know I have at least some free time, but where the heck is it all going?

I need to rethink some of my priorities and fast. With only six weeks left till I go back to KU (and I can't wait!), it's time to get down to business. I need to do my homework early, read my books quicker, and start tanning while I still can. 

It'll be a sad move in day at the house if while everyone is talking about the amazing things they did all summer, all I can say is, "oh, I worked and did homework. So basically it was just like school, only way hotter." 

If you're in the same boat as me, I am so sorry. But maybe it's time we get off our butts, and go out and accomplish your bucket list!

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.
