Summer is coming to an end. But, for some of us, it is also just starting.

For those of us who took spring and summer classes, we only get a two-week summer break. For those who only get two weeks for our summer break, it feels like you get just long enough to breathe and re-center ourselves before diving head first into the stress and craziness of the fall semester.

If this sounds like you and you don't know how to center yourself and relax before the craziness hits you like a brick here are some thoughts on how you can do that without breaking the bank.

1. Go to the beach with your friends.

your friends will make you feel better about everything and chances are you haven't really gotten much sun this summer if you have been in classes all summer

2. Practice self care

no seriously if you can do this you will be more relaxed for the upcoming semester

3. Get your planner

and have it already organized

4. Go to the bar on karaoke night.

after all you will probably laugh at some of the drunk people singing and laughter is the best medicine for everything.

5. Take a day or weekend trip to your favorite city

You will feel better after you make the trip

6. Take a trip home to see your family

especially if they help you stay grounded

7.Catch up on some sleep

because you know you won't be getting much again once the fall semester really gets rolling.

8. Stay away from your school as much as possible

You really only have 2 weeks left so why would you want to spend it on your campus when you could spend it doing something else.

9. Go to a concert or local show

everyone else you know got to go to a concert so why shouldn't you go to one too.

10. Check your email

you might have a professor email you with something that want you to have done for the first class and you don't want to start out behind.

11. Have a few days that you do nothing

seriously it will help you feel more relaxed when you start the fall semester.

12. Just be yourself

being who you truly are is the best way to get yourself re-centered before starting a new semester.

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.
