How To Be Extra AF This Summer

Summer 2017 is in full swing which means vacations, your dream internship, or even just sitting on the couch for three months to recover from last semester. No matter which way you spend your summer, you're probably wondering how to let your friends and loyal Instagram followers know that you are on fleek this summer. Learn how to flaunt your minimum wage wealth this summer and show the world how #extra you really are.


1. Green drinks only.

Is it matcha? Is it kale? Is it baby food? No one really knows. Pair it with your overpriced coconut/electrolyte/charcoal water for that added edge. And when you're throwing away $10 at Whole Foods, just repeat to yourself: "if it's not green, it's not for me."

2. Pool floats.

Take up the entire square footage of your pool with a 75'' float of whatever object you can find. They've got avoacados, champagne bottles, or you can go with the classic flamingo. Whatever you get, make sure you post it on Instagram. Why spend $50 on a giant swan if you're not going to break your record for most likes on an Insta? Word to the wise: while they make even cuter beach pics, ocean currents and giant floats do not mix.

3. Boomerang everything you do.

Instagram blessed us this past year with allowing us to make GIF's of anything we want. Want to show your followers you're at happy hour with your pals? Boomerang. Are you at the beach and need everyone to see your sandy feet? Boomerang. Are your doing some mundane task that probably doesn't need to be Boomerang-ed but you're going to do it anyway? Boomerang.

4. One pieces with witty sayings

Who needs a normal tanline? Not you. Whether the sayings make perfect sense or no sense at all; rock it. If you can't seem to find a saying that fits you, maybe Sunny Co. Clothing will give away another few thousand red one pieces again.

5. Sunglasses you will never wear again after this summer.

The '90s have been making comebacks left and right within the last year, but this summer's latest throwback trend has been Kurt Cobain-esque sunglasses that look like the ones you literally wore when you were 10. If they're plastic, some abnormal color, but they look really cool, you've picked a winner. Are they necessary? No. Are you still going to buy them? Absolutely.

This summer, don't be afraid to let your extra flag fly high. Live your best life, and if they haters get you down, at least you look cute.

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.

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.
