Look, summer is great. But when it gets really hot, it can also SUCK to be outside.

With that said, for those really hot days, crank up the AC and cosy up to watch these romantic comedies when you need to cool down:

1. (500) Days Of Summer

This has to be one of my favorite movies to watch over the summer. I mean "You Make My Dreams" scene is literally so funny and cute how could you not love this movie? I also like it because it's one of the more realistic rom-coms. The ending is also just so good and unexpected, especially for a rom-com.

Best part: Hands down Joseph Gordon-Levitt dancing to You Make My Dreams by Hall and Oates.

2. Mammia Mia & Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again

Ok, these movies would be such a good double feature. The music, the dancing, and the setting all make you want to go jump and a plane and fly all over the world. It's cheesy and sometimes infuriating and that's what makes it so fun.

Best part: Anytime they sing Dancing Queen or Mammia Mia.

3. Grease

Grease is the CLASSIC summer romance... even though most of the story happens during the school year. It's a fun movie to watch with a big group of people who all know the words. I think there are also some parts that are just so silly and out there, but this a must-see for my friends and I every summer.

Best part: Danny saying "it's electrifying" and Sandy stepping on the cigarette during You're The One That I Want are both so iconic. Also "Tell me about it.. stud." So good.

4. The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 1 & 2

These movies are so good because they give you wanderlust and a sense of adventure, but they talk about some really deep topics that are so important for young women. I love the friendships that are represented and how they show that some of the best friendships benefit from distance.

Best part: Watching the girls grow and develop from their experiences.

5. The Last Song

This movie is so mushy and lovey dovey, but it also has some really sad moments that bring it back to earth. Miley and Liam aren't the best actors in this movie to be honest, but they have so much chemistry.

Best part: Knowing the Miley and Liam are married now thanks to this movie.

6. Endless Love

Another summer rom-com that is VERY mushy and lovey-dovey, but honestly Alex Pettyfer is so swoon-worthy the whole time and the movie is so dramatic that you end up getting lost in it and really enjoying it the whole time.

Best part: When David says "I love you" to Jade in the truck, it's so cheesy but sooo cute.

7. The Parent Trap

An instant summer classic that made me want a twin sister so badly. Also can we talk about how good the editing for this movie was given the time it came out?? I was legitimately convinced Lindsay Lohan had a twin sister.

Best part: When Halle and Annie finally realize that they're twins.

8. Call Me By Your Name

Call Me By Your Name is equal parts beautiful as it is sad, but that's what makes it so good. I loved Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet's perfomances and thought they did such an amazing job portraying their characters.

Best part: The speech Elio's father gives to him after Oliver leaves.

9. Aquamarine

Shake, stretch, flex. I mean this movie had so many iconic moments and it's just as fun to watch it now as it was when I was a kid. Plus, how cool would it be to be friends with a mermaid??

Best part: That the love Aquamarine needed to find all along was found in her friendships with Claire and Hailey.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
