9 Products to Keep You Cool During The Summer

Whether you are walking the campus of your school for summer classes, going on vacation, or working your lifeguard job this summer, here are a few products that anyone would find helpful in order to beat the heat!

1. St. Ives Orange Zing! Face Mist

This stuff is sent from heaven! It is absolutely perfect for those hot no-makeup kind of days when you just need a cooling pick-me-up. Spray this yummy (yummy-smelling… don't actually eat it…) orange mist all over your face and chest for a rejuvenating blast of energy.

2. Scrunchies

Obviously… right…? But I had to share this incredible pack of 36 scrunchies in a variety of colors. Seriously, there is one for every occasion. Since it is now trendy to wear scrunchies, (I've been waiting for scrunchies to be cool again for YEARS!) I will always have at least one on my wrist.

3. Sandals

Ok, you can disagree, but seriously I feel way more cool when I am wearing sandals as opposed to sneakers or any other kind of closed shoes. My go-tos are Birkenstocks, Chacos, or Rainbows. (Yes, it is a bit much to have all three of these sandals, but I am a shoe addict…)

4. A Tabletop Fan

This one doesn't really have much to do with being outside, but nonetheless it is one of my favorites. After a long day outside (...or to be honest just the thirty second walk from the car...), there is no better feeling than a cooling fan right in my face to cool me down.

5. A Hydro Flask

Ok, so technically I don't have an actual Hydro Flask, but I have an off-brand one that works just as well in my humble opinion. These water bottles are lifesavers for those scorching hot days walking campus, or hiking, or honestly any activity at all. Hydrate yourself!!

6. Cleansing Wipes

These are so useful! Get yourself some cleansing body wipes for a quick cleanse for when you don't want to shower for the second time in one day… (The south… Am I right…?) Whether you're a morning or night showerer, these wipes will save your life after a good ol' sweat sesh'. Shower Pill has some great ones linked here.

7. SPF Chapstick

I didn't know I needed this until I got it, and now I can't live without it. It had never occurred to me that the reason my lips are so dry during the summer may be because they are sunburned! (How did I never think of this…? I have no idea.) SPF chapstick is definitely a hot day must!

8. BB Cream

I am not much of a foundation gal, but I love this BB Cream from Maybelline. It is incredible for days in the sun because it has SPF and it has a light to buildable coverage!

9. Cooling Towel

Wow. This product is amazing. Frogg Toggs cooling towels are perfect for a yard-work day. My sister uses it during her long softball tournaments. All you have to do it wet it and BAM it is ice cold! So. Cool.

Summer is one of the most brutal times of year when it comes to weather, especially in the South, so take my word for it and start treating yourself with these products. It will make this intense heat more bearable!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
