During the summer, there are many fun vacation trips you plan with your friends and family. Most people like the theme parks and getting out of the states. Yet, if you're like me, the only trip that really gets you excited is going to the beach. A beach bum, like me, would sit in a lot of traffic just to go sit at the beach for a couple hours. The boardwalks are just a plus if its by a beach.
My family trip to Myrtle beach, SC was my favorite family trip. Although South Carolina offers many exiting places to go, I would still want to spend a whole day at the beach. I also blame my beach bum-ness on the fact that my college is in upstate New York. There are no close beaches to visit, to my knowledge, around Ithaca College. So below are 18 signs that you're totally a beach bum.
1. When your friends suggest a getaway trip, your answer is always going to the beach
At this point they should already know your suggestion
2. You have to confirm all the details before going
Just to make sure everyone knows they are all committed to the beach
3. You suddenly become a morning person for just one day
Because the beach day is today.
4.When someone says a different beach that you know is not the beach to go to
You are the beach expert on the good beaches and the bad beaches
5. You have that great beach spot you have to get
You won't settle for sitting just anywhere
6. You don't mind getting sandy at all
It would be weird for you to go to the beach and not get sandy
7. It is natural to start tanning for the first couple minutes you are settled

8. You have the perfect beach snacks
Because you packed them yourself
9. You have that special bikini top that can only be worn at the beach
Plus, it's all about the beach selfies
10. You can point out the first time beach goers
Or anyone that gets their coolers searched
11. You stay in the water most of the time
Because your done sitting in the hot sand not talking to anyone
12. You can convince the rest of your friends to goof off
Because you have the whole day to just have fun
13. You get excited when there are no lifeguards on duty
Just to pretend you are one for the Instagram pic
14.You got that special beach playlist
Eventually, your friends get used to your type of music.
15. You have that typical beach bum accessories.
Or at least own one accessory.
16. You can stare at the water for the longest time
Because you don't live too close to the ocean.
17. It's the worst feeling when you have to leave
Because you want to live at the beach forever.
18. Your motivated to start to plan the next beach trip
Because it was just that fun.
