School is out and summer is here, just like last summer I have returned home until school starts again. However, unlike last year, this time I am unemployed (my parents really love that part). To keep myself entertained before I go back to school and work in August, I've created a list of things that I want to do over the next 2 months that are (pretty much) free.

1. Deep clean

I need to clean. I need to clean my room, my car, my life -- all of it. Since I have LITERALLY not a thing to hold me back or distract me, I should be able to do this. I plan to donate a lot of stuff from my room that I realized I don’t need.

2. Blaze through my Netflix list

I definitely watched Netflix during the school year but now I can watch things without the guilt of an upcoming assignment. Also I can multitask and watch movies or shows WHILE I clean. Some things on my list are The Fall and Malcolm in the Middle.

3. Visit friends

Half of my friends live in the upstate and the other half live by the beach, meanwhile little old me is sitting in the middle, alone. Luckily with all of my free time I will be able to go see friends and keep in touch over the break.

4. Exercise?

Yeah the question mark is there for a reason, will I do it? Who knows.

5. Learn to cook

In my article, "9 Things I've Learned In College" I noted that I do NOT know how to cook. Now, with a family to cook for I’m hoping to work on my skills so I can feed myself this next year.

6. Get some vitamin D

I want to spend more time outside this summer since I have been stuck inside studying or working over the past year. Hopefully I can get a gentle (not burned) glow in the process.

All of these things can we done for virtually no money and I hope that I can get through all of the items on my list.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

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.
