1. Reusable water bottle

A cute and easy way to go green.

2. Comfortable pair of shoes

Think Birkenstocks, TOMS, trendy sneakers or any other sandal with support.

3. Go-to perfume

It doesn't have to be anything high end, but get yourself a new scent for a new season!

4. Headband

For those baby hairs that won't cooperate with the humidity.

5. Facial spray or toner

Rose water spray really does work wonders.

6. Face mask

My favorites are from Formula 10.0.6, which can be found at ULTA Beauty.

7. Hand/ cuticle salve

Even though the drying winter months are over, this stuff is wondrous.

8. Beach blanket

For the sand, the park, a picnic... the list goes on.

9. Sunglasses

Stylish, as well as helpful for driving. Check out this boutique.

10. SPF

Face lotion, sunscreen, tanning oil, lip balm, you name it.

11. Disposable camera, underwater camera or underwater case

For those memories you need to document.

12. Good reads

A good book is a must for a day outside in your backyard or an afternoon at the pool.

13. Aloe

Because sunburn happens to the best of us.

14. Chapstick

Growing up, I learned the hard way that your lips can get sunburned easily. This is my favorite SPF chapstick.

15. Every day sundress

For those mornings when you simply don't want to put on pants or shorts.

16. Teeth whitening strips

A simple way to enhance your appearance this summer.

17. Self tanner or bronzer

This one's not for everyone, but for the girls who want to look like they just got back from the Caribbean islands, this stuff will help you out.

18. Dry shampoo

To avoid the timely struggle of washing, shampooing, conditioning and drying your hair.

19. Waterproof mascara

If you want to wear makeup to the pool or beach this is essential.

20. Leave in conditioner or detangling spray

Super important if you're going to be swimming a lot this summer.

21. Insulated bag or cooler

These are perfect for day-trips or beach trips if you want to pack lunch, fruit or cold drinks.

22. Hat

If you already have a baseball cap and want to try something new, opt for a floppy hat.

23. Portable charger

The last thing you should have to worry about this summer is your phone battery.

24. Blender

Stop spending all your paychecks on smoothies and Açaí bowls! There are tons of recipes that you can try at home.

25. Killer playlist, aux cord and speaker

What's a drive to the beach, or a summer night with friends, without some good tunes?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
