Summer, it's the season for travel and internships and being home. Most of all, it's the season of going to the beach for hours on end, and this journey, this stupendous adventure, can be considered the worst and the best parts of summer.

1. It takes an hour to prepare

Get the chairs and the coolers and do not forget sunscreen!!

2. You pack everything neatly into the car...

....only to unpack it in much hotter conditions.

3. You jam out to your favorite tunes on the way.

Sing it out! Jam it out!

4. Once you get to the beach, it's time to find parking.

Oh the horror.

5. You forgot how hard it is to walk in the sand.

6. Then, it's time to find the place that you'll settle in on.

Is there a spot close to the water but also far enough from other human beings?

7. You plan out how to set up your furniture perfectly...

...but you don't really account for the sand.

8. There's just sand everywhere.

It's horrible.

9. The sun is inescapable.

Even under your fancy umbrella.

10. You decide to read a book or write in a journal while roasting in the sun.

11. In order to cool off you go in the water.

But it's such a struggle.

12. You touch rocks and seaweed and try to act natural.

13. While exiting the ocean things don't go very flawlessly...

This is not your. In stead, salt water drips into your eyes, sand begins to climb up you legs, and your bathing suit clings so intensely to your body.

14. Patting yourself off you realize something, there's sand on your towel.

Sand, it's everywhere.

15. After a few hours, which may seem like forever, you finally leave.

16. Arriving home, you shower and guess what? Yep! There's sand in your suit.

17. Falling asleep you remember the feel of the ocean - and you wanna do it all again.
