There's no place like home for the summer.

15 Different Things We Love Being Home For In The Summer
Carly Happ

As the semester comes to an end, and we begin preparing for finals, we become excited and anxious to return back home for the summer. I absolutely love school so much; however, it is hard. Actually, to say the least, it is beyond exhausting. Home may or may not sound fun for majority of people due to the fact that you will be bored after 2 days; however, there are also a lot of things to look forward to. These are just a few of the things I am most looking forward to when I return back to my sweet little hometown.

1. Reunited with the fam.

2. Yummy, healthy, and AH-MAZING food!

(Preferably mom’s home cooked meals)

3. Driving your car again.

4. Catching up with your high school friends like old times.

5. Laying on actual furniture.

Not just a dorm bed or your chair at your desk. (My big comfy couch)

6. Laying by the pool or beach all day.

With not a worry in the world.

7. Exploring trendy cute restaurants.

Calling all foodies.

8. Having someone other than yourself do your laundry.

9. Working.

As surprising as that sounds, we are poor college students.

10. Building up that summer tan.

11. The gym.

I love the one at school, but yoga is a MUST when I’m at home.

12. Adventures in nature.

It’s summer! Explore the outdoors and discover new places.

13. Music festivals.

Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Spring awakening are just a few.

14.Outdoor concerts.

Fresh air, live music, and awesome dancing. What’s better?

15. Fresh fruit! Yes, FRUIT.

(it sounds silly but who doesn’t love eating fresh watermelon in the summertime.)

Like I said, these are only a few things we all look forward to when we come home. Power through those last couple of exams during finals and get excited to return back to the place where you grew up and know best.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
