While I love summer for the break from school, there is another reason why I look forward to it all year: the beach. Since I was little, I’ve always had a love for the beach that just seems to get stronger every year. Every aspect of the beach is perfect to me, so I consider myself a beach bum.
Official position or not, I know my one true position is meant to be on a towel in the hot sun with my toes in the sand. As a beach bum, I know these to be true:
1. Summer is the best season of the year
2. Whenever decorating has to be done, it is beach themed
3. I have more bathing suits than actual clothes
4. I wish there was a perfume that smelled just like sunscreen
5. I love the way the water makes my hair more perfect than any product 
6. The beach is my happy place
7. I’d rather go to the beach than anywhere else
8. Even in the winter, a trip to the beach is a must
9. Going to the beach isn’t an outing, it’s a routine
10. I have beach withdrawals if I don’t go at least once a week in the summer
11. I’d take swimming in the ocean over swimming in a pool any day
12. I don’t care if I go alone, because I love it so much and I’ll have a great day regardless
13. My car always has sand in it
14. I never unpack my beach bag because I’ll just need to repack it anyways really soon
15. I don’t even try to tan, I just go to the beach so often that I get about 10 shades darker
16. My favorite car rides are after the beach with the windows down and the music loud
17. Whenever I make plans in the summer, I suggest a beach trip
18. I get to the beach around 8:30 in the morning and don’t leave until sunset
19. I only care that I have money for gas and parking
20. The waves are the most calming sound
21. I have a constant sunburn on my cheeks and shoulders
22. Beach vacations are better than any other vacation
23. I actually really do like long walks on the beach
24. I always pick up shells and rocks even though I have a huge collection at home
25. There is no better place to be
