At long last, summer break is finally upon us students in the northern hemisphere. Now that final exams, papers, and projects are a temporary thing of the past, we find ourselves faced with approximately three months to let loose and relax before the new semester kicks off in the fall. When you're not sleeping in past noon or heading in for a shift at your summer job, here are seven things to do this summer.

1. Round up your friends from school 

Friends

Whether they're your pals from high school or your new friends from college, summer is the perfect time to hang out with each other without the stress of schoolwork making you feel guilty every time you go out. Send a message in the old group chat and spend some much-needed time with your good friends!

2. Catch a new movie in theaters 

Movie Theater

Summer is full of new blockbuster films, from the latest Marvel movie to a new indie flick. With a lot of theaters having summer discounts for tickets, its the perfect thing to do with a group of friends, your family members, or just by yourself!

3. Head to a local festival or carnival 

Carnival

If there's one thing everyone loves about summer, it's that there is always something fun and exciting coming to a town near you. From renaissance fairs to annual carnivals, check out a fun festival this summer for the fun rides, photo ops, and tasty treats.

4. Try out a new hobby 

Cooking

It's never too late to develop a new interest, and summer is the ideal time to fully help it grow! Whether you want to try your hand at cooking, gardening, writing, or something else, there are plenty of things to do and even more sources to help you on your way.

5. Binge-watch a new show 

Watching TV

If you don't feel like battling the summer temperatures to do something fun, then let the fun come to you! Your favorite streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime are rife with new releases every month, so pick out an old favorite or a new venture and get comfortable.

6. See how many books you can read 

Reading

The great thing about reading is that there is no wrong time to do it or any negative consequences from it. Head to your local library or bookstore, wander the shelves, and pick out a book or two that interests you! You'll be glad to have something to read when you're lounging by the pool or stuck in the car with no data on your family road trip.

7. Explore your hometown 

Exploring

Whether you live in a small town or a big city, there is always something new to explore in the summertime. Maybe it's a new restaurant or boutique downtown, or maybe it's an abandoned building — if you're into that. Point is, there are plenty of places to explore this summer, so round up some friends and get to it.

What will you be doing this 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.
