15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

Before classes start and our schedules are filled to the brim, let's take time to reminisce about what makes summer such a special season.

15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

1. Driving around with your friends with the windows down and your favorite playlist blasting, right before the sun sets.

2. Relaxing by the pool with a fresh bowl of fruit and jumping in the water when your lounge chair gets a little too hot.

3. Taking your dog for a long walk, up and down rolling hills, under a shady canopy of leaves created by the trees arching over from either side of the road.

4. Curling up beside an open window on a sunny morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a stack of new magazines.

5. Having a barbecue dinner with your family at an outdoor picnic table then sitting around a fire pit catching up on each other's days.

6. Walking down the beach along the line where the sea just meets the sand. With each step, your toes get covered with a little more sea foam and your feet get buried deeper and deeper into the ground.

7. Eating a fresh seafood lunch and people watching under the awning outside a restaurant.

8. Racing kayaks with your friends at a local lake and climbing onto a wooden dock surrounded by water.

9. Having a perfectly refreshing ice cream cone on a sweltering day. Licking around the sides of the cone as if finishing the ice cream before it melts is a race against time.

10. Using your free time to reconnect and reminisce with old friends over meals and during parties.

11. The feeling of satisfaction you get after seeing how sharp your bathing suit tan line is after a day in the sun.

12. Lying on a giant pool float for hours and reading a fun, light book.

13. Relieving sore feet by getting a mani pedi with the best bright nail polish color after a day full of walking.

14. Working out outside in the perfect temperature: when it's warm enough that you don't need a jacket, but cool enough that when you run refreshing wind cools down your skin.

15. Spending time with your home friends: talking, going out and just enjoying each other's company.

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.
