10 Things You Need To Do This Summer.

Summer is here! The weather is warm, the pools are open, and the days are longer. This means you can have more day light to make a ton of activities. Everyone needs a list of things to do every summer. But this summer you should really try to spice things up a little bit. So why don't you try some of these awesome things before the summer ends.

1. Unplug yourself and connect with your family and friends.

Go at least one day without technology. Trust me it is going to feel awesome.

2. Go find the nearest body of water.

Water is a source of life.

3. Go for a picnic.

It might sound old fashioned, but the contact with nature will help you connect with your inner-self. Put your favorite snacks and a good wine in a basket, go find a grassy space somewhere, sit down, and have a meal enjoying your surroundings.

4. Try something you have never tried before.

It could be eating crickets out of a candy store or simply that new gym routine.

5. Have a BBQ.

The smell of ribs just melt my mouth. It is the perfect time of the year to have a BBQ and catch up with family and friends.

6. Volunteer.

During the summer we are usually less busy. It is good to give back to society. You never know when you are changing someone else's life.

7. Have a garage sale.

It is time to clean some stuff, but what a better way than a garage sale? You could even get a little bit of money out of those books that have been stored under your bed forever.

8. Attend a bonfire.

Make some s'mores and play some acoustic guitar. It is an underrated activity, but I promise you will have fun.

9. Take a nap in a hammock.

It is not a typical place to take a nap and the swing will put you down to sleep.

10. Do a touristy thing in your city you have never done before.

Do you remember that museum you have always wanted to visit? Well this is the perfect time to do it.


Hope you at least try one of these activities!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
