Summer is a time for swimming, tanning and relaxing. The best way to channel all three is hit the beach! The beach is the best place to call your own during the summer. You can go there to workout, relax, play beach games, or whatever you want. Since the beach is so popular in the summertime, it can get crowded fast. Whether you're on lake shore or ocean side, near the water is the place to be. Here's a list of who you might run into out there on a hot, summer's day!

1. The Usual: People tanning.

The peak of day is the best time to get that golden bronze goddess look for the summer months. Or lobster, whichever happens first.

2. Runners

People running with dogs, people running alone, people running in groups, people running without shirts, people running with shirts. Literally it's like the perfect "look at me and my good workout habits" spot. Go home, you fakers. We know you just Instagram-ed yourself with a taco.

3. Annoying College Boys Drinking and Playing Frisbee

Kick sand onto my beach towel one more time, I dare you.

4. College Students

The beaches are crawling with college kids that stayed in party-town over the summer. You will always run into someone from a local area college soaking up the rays with some of the best music on the sand.

5. Families

It's like watching your childhood in real-time. Watch out for the sand castles.

6. The "Zac Efron" Of The beach

Mr. Dreamy over there with the cutest dog on the beach. If only you would go talk to him. Mostly to play with his cute dog.

7. The Guy In The Speedo

It can never be unseen, never be forgotten. You are scarred.

8. Foodies

These are the best kind of people on the beach. Camped out in the grassy shaded park area with a Coleman whipping up some hot, grilled perfection. Now you're jealous that you didn't think of that first.

9. The One Person You Never Wanted To See Again

It never fails that if you go outside, you'll run into that one person you've been avoiding. Old high school friends, past flames, awkward encounters are the worst on the beach- wear a sun hat.

10. Tourists

And finally, the worst kind of beach goer. These are the people that show up with pants and long sleeves on a 89 degree day to take pictures of your beautiful lakeside city. You might possibly end up in their vacation album forever, so make sure to catch some killer photobombs and embarrassing poses to ruin their future Christmas card.

Headed to the beach this summer? Keep this article with you and take along a few tips. Wear sunscreen so you don't turn into an actual lobster, wear large enough shades and sunhat to hide your identity to unwanted awkward reunions, and don't kick that kid's sand castle. Because you will never hear the end of it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
