Now that summer's here, it's time to reconnect with your friends from high school and catch up. Here are 8 ideas of things to do when you're hanging out with your friends from high school!

1. Have a sleepover!

Whether you're 9 or 19, it's always fun to have a sleepover with friends. Pile up the pillows and break out the Cheetos while you watch Zac Efron in his prime

2. Pool Partyyy

Fun floaties and cute swimsuits give you a reason to meet up at the pool and cool off in the hot weather. Find out who can still cannonball the best... or maybe see who improved their cannonballs in the past year!

3. Go out to a fancy dinner

You're old enough to dine out now... by yourselves. Be the "adults" that you are for the night and go out to a nice dinner with the BFF's from back in the day.

4. Go on a day trip

The new-found freedom of college can be carried over to the freedom of the open road. Check out some of the local (or not-so-local) travel destinations around your area and share in the memories with those who you bonded with back in the day.

5. Camping

Nothing says summer like breaking out the tent and marshmallows and catching up over the campfire. Just like when you were seven, the smore's and the bonding will taste just as sweet.

6. Movie Marathon

Whether it's the whole "High School Musical" trilogy, the whole "Star Wars" trilogy... whatever you're into... set it all up and sit down to enjoy the whole series since it's summer and there's time to do so.

7. Make your own ice cream

There's a recipe to make the greatest summer food in the world, and it can be achieved without much difficulty and for much bonding between friends. Make it. Eat it. Cherish it.

8. Get outdoors

Whether it's hiking, playing soccer, shooting hoops, or just going for a walk together, meet up and get outside to enjoy the great outdoors together. The endorphins will boost your enjoyment of each other and you'll feel physically better while upping your heartbeat with the fresh air.

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.
