17 Pros And Cons Of Summer
Uniterre

It's the middle of April, and the school year is coming to a close. We're just a couple of weeks away from moving back home for the summer, but it doesn't quite feel real yet. Just in case it hasn't hit you, here are all the good and bad things to anticipate for summer 2k16.

Pro: You'll get to see all your friends from home.

Con: You'll have to manage to live without your college friends for three months.

Pro: If you're lucky, your parents will do your laundry again.

Con: You have to live under your parents (and their rules) again.

Pro: Two words: bigger bed.

Con: No more nightly sleepovers with your roommate.

Pro: You won't have any school-related responsibilities.

Con: You have to get through finals first. Sorry.

Pro: The beach/lake/pool will be your second home.

Con: You kinda forgot about getting bikini-ready, oops.

Pro: You have all summer to work out! You can just have a great winter bod.

Con: You have all the time in the world, therefore no excuse to be lazy and not work out.

Pro: You have all the time in the world so you can finally finish (or start) that Netflix series.

Con: Let's be honest, you're gonna get caught up in Netflix and not exercise. Eh, maybe next summer.

Pro: You get enough time to work and make money or build your resume (or both if you landed a great job).

Con: Not all your days will be spent beaching, Netflix-ing, or sleeping.

Pro: There's no such thing as "school nights" in the summer, so any night is fair game to go out.

Con: Just so you know, hangovers on Wednesday mornings are just as bad as those on Sundays.

Pro: Tanning.

Con: One step closer to skin cancer. Or sweating so much that you literally die. Whichever comes first.

Pro: Sun's out, skin's out. Hello crop tops, tank tops, shorts and swimsuits.

Con: No matter how hot it is, some degree of clothing is still required on your body.

Pro: Laying out at night and listening to grasshoppers is so relaxing.

Con: Mosquitos, however? Not so welcome.

Pro: You'll get to appreciate your hometown again after being gone for so long.

Con: You're going to miss all the things your college town has to offer, too.

Pro: Ice cream. Snow cones. Popsicles.

Con: Yep, still not working out.

Pro: You might get to go on summer vacation to a different destination.

Con: If your summer vacay involves a long road trip with the family ... you're in my prayers.

Pro: You'll talk to your friends from school everyday to make up for how little you see them.

Con: Your friends that live a short walk from you nine months out of the year are now probably spending summer in their home state, far away from you.

Pro: School's out for summer!

Con: School's out for summer.

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.
