5 Things To Do Before Summer Ends

There's only two weeks left before school starts. Where did the summer go? Well, I certainly spent this summer working a lot and doing some travel. Now with two weeks to go, I am trying to have an actual summer. This past week I went home and saw family and got a chance to relax. With two weeks to go, there are five things that I want to try and get done before school starts.

1. I want to finish the HBO show Game of Thrones.

This show right now has been all I watch on TV. Saturday was just spent watching one entire season. Currently, I am on season four, episode eight but I plan to be fully caught up on season seven by the end of this upcoming week.

2. I want to go into the city and explore.

When I say "the city", I am referring to San Francisco. I lived in the Bay Area for about seven weeks this summer but didn't really have an opportunity to actually explore. I want to go back and spend a weekend walking around town and exploring. I want to see what San Francisco has to offer. I also want to get a sense for the night life in the city.

3. I want to just catch up with friends.

Now that people are starting to come back to Stockton for training or to help out for orientation, I want to catch up. It's been months since I have seen some of my friends. One of the ways that I was thinking about catching up with them was by hosting a BBQ. This way they can relax and talk and end summer on a good note.

4. I need to clean my room.

This one is a must do. I have the habit of just leaving my clean clothes in the closet and not hanging them or putting them back where they belong. Currently, my closet is a mess. I need to get ready for the school year by starting off on the right foot; that is, by getting organized.

5. I want to party.

This last thing that I want to do before summer is over is to go out and party. I haven't been out to a party for a few months. I think the last time was in April, but with the start of school, I want to party at least once before I devote 90% of my time to work and school work. That has been a rule of mine since I started college. I only allow myself to have a bit more fun than normal before and after the school semester. I try to go out and keep the partying to a minimum during the school year.

I can't wait for the start of my senior year. It feels like just yesterday when I was about to start my freshman year of college. Time certainly does fly by. But I do intend to spend the next weeks living life to its fullest and enjoying every minute of what's left of summer.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
