The Summer Olympics is one of the best things to watch in the summer, with events such as gymnastics, beach volleyball, water polo, and many more. This year, the Olympics will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from August 5 to August 21.

2. Justin Bieber Concert

Since his new album, "Purpose," released, Beliebers have been dying to go to his concert kicking off in 2016. Make sure to get your tickets. And if you're really in love with him, you can also pay $2,000 to meet him. In this case, money does buy happiness.

It's the moment we've been waiting for since 2003 when "Finding Nemo" first came out: "Finding Dory." This spectacular sequel is coming to theaters on June 17, 2016, and I know your inner child is longing to see it.

5. iPhone 7

With the recent release of the iPhone 6s, customers are even more excited for the iPhone 7 to come out since the 6s was a bit of a disappointment. Rumors say that the iPhone 7 is going to be thinner with more unexpected design elements.

6. Firefly 2016

Firefly—one of the most anticipated, biggest music festivals of the summer—has released its lineup, and it is insanely amazing. The festival consists of four days of amazing artists playing their latest and greatest hits, including Mumford and Sons, Ellie Goulding, Kings of Leon, Florence and the Machine, and a bunch more.

10. Summer

I can guarantee almost everyone loves summer. Whether it's the no homework aspect, going to the beach, or just lounging on the couch all day, summer is sure to be fun and relaxing.

11. One Direction Concert

Another concert to save up your money for! One Direction's new album includes perfect songs to jam out to with your friends.

12. Saint Patrick's Day

A huge holiday filled with drinking, green outfits, and friends. Not much more than that.

13. Syllabus Week

The best time of the year is when us college kids have no work and can go out every night, and it is still acceptable. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

14. Friends' 21st Birthdays

Several college kids will be turning 21 in 2016, which means you get to attend tons of birthday parties with your best friends.

15. The Unexpected

Whether it's a summer internship, new friends, or even a new pet, 2016 will bring many opportunities and exciting new things or events to your life.

16. Good Times Spent with Family and Friends

Overall be sure to spend time with your family and friends. Be positive, and reject the negativity in your life. Live in the moment, and stop looking into the future. You'll be happy you did.

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.

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.
