13 Signs You're The Girl Who Spent Her Summer On The Lake

Kelsey Dietrich

As summer begins to wind down, you reflect on how you spent your time. Hopefully, you feel satisfied with the adventures that you did take part in while enjoying the dog days of summer. One of the best places to spend your summer is on the lake. There is just something so relaxing and inviting about living near (or visiting) a body of water. Furthermore, this location makes for the best destination to enjoy your summer.

1. You are at the beach at least once a week.

Kelsey Dietrich

And your car is full of sand because of this!

2. The smell of dead fish does not make you sick.

Kelsey Dietrich

3. Your camera roll is full of aesthetic nature pictures.

Kelsey Dietrich

You can't help but take a hundred pictures of the area because everything is just so beautiful.

4. You always have sandy feet.

Kelsey Dietrich

Due to the all of your beach trips or just getting into your own car.

5. You own a variety of lake T-shirts.

Kelsey Dietrich

And you absolutely love flaunting them.

6. Your Instagram feed appears as if you are constantly on vacation.

Kelsey Dietrich

It's cool because you're not... you are just lucky enough to live in a really fun area.

7. Either your family or a close friend's family owns a boat.

Kelsey Dietrich

This makes for frequent boat trips, which is awesome.

8. You have given up on even trying to do your hair.

Kelsey Dietrich

Between riding the waves of a boat on the lake and soaking up the sun on the beach, you have comes to terms with accepting the way your natural hair looks. Having fun is more important than appearance, anyways.

9. You are experienced in riding all watercraft.

Kelsey Dietrich

Canoes, jet skis, kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards, parasailing, pedal boats, pontoon boats, power boats, and sailboats... name the watercraft and you're experienced in it.

10. You have a great collection of beach glass.

Kelsey Dietrich

So much that you are actually running out of space for it all.

11. You know all the best spots for fishing.

Kelsey Dietrich

12. You are familiar with Mayflies and know that they are perfectly harmless.

Kelsey Dietrich

But still annoying.

13. You have the most amazing views for a sunset.

Kelsey Dietrich

And you never miss one, either. (Your camera roll accurately reflects this!)

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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

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.
