RIP Summer '16

I miss you

RIP Summer '16
KNKX


You know summer is over when these things happen:

1. You don't have as much time to binge watch your favorite shows.

I just want to watch Stranger Things season 1 for the entire day, but I can't because I have class, work, chapel, and somehow have to manage to socialize.


2. You can't go to the beach or pool for the entire day.

I mean you could, but you have about five chapters to read for each class. Doing homework on the beach or at the pool is distracting with the scenery, wind, and the sun makes it hard to see.

3. You can't sleep in much anymore.

Waking up at 1 pm on a weekday is not really acceptable during the year when it's not summer.


4. Seasonal summer foods are unavailable or not in season.

Watermelon, my one true love!


5. You have more responsibilities now.

You don't have much time for lazy days when school starts back up again. Summer is more care or worry-free.


6. You don't get to travel as much.

One of the best things about summer is having time to travel.

While it's sad that summer is over, if you love fall like me, just remember that Halloween is almost here.

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.
