The Top 10 Ways to Know It's Summer

Ah, summer, that magical time we wait all year for. A time when "No shoes, no shirt, no service" ceases to be enforced and hair straighteners are pushed aside until fall. Though the end of spring semester may seem like the beginning of summer vacation, the truth is that you can't officially call it summer until these ten things start happening to you regularly.

1. The clothing choices made by the customers of Walmart.

Did you look in the mirror before leaving home?

2. Instant sweat when you walk outside.

Does anybody have a towel I could borrow?

3. Constantly hearing the phrase, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity".

It's not the heat OR the humidity that's making me mad, it's you.

4. Not being able to find a parking spot (or lounge chair) at your neighborhood pool.

Who are these people?

5. Children, EVERYWHERE.

Aren't you supposed to be in daycare...or something?

6. All the old people have returned from migrating south.

And the speed limit drops 10 mph.

7. Social media is flooded with vacation pictures.

What color scheme should white families across America wear this year on the beach?

8. Getting a tan line and realizing how pale you were all winter.

Bonus points if you have a summer foundation and a winter foundation.

9. Shoes that aren't sandals are nowhere in sight.

Unfortunately, this also means you're forced to see really weird and ugly feet wherever you go.

10. Everyone who goes to camp wants you to send them letters.

Getting something in the mail that isn't a bill is so exciting!!

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.
