It's Officially White Nail SZN, 7 and Other Summer Trends You Should Know About

There are obvious signs that summer has finally come and I'm not talking about the red swimsuit ad on Instagram. Some are fashion related, others are drinks from Starbucks. No matter the category, you will know summer when it is officially Summer.


1. White Nails

White nails are a huge sign Summer has begun. Girls everywhere get a fresh gel that resembles that of white-out on their nails and toes. I am no stranger to this sign of Summer... in fact I have it on me right now.

2. Health Kicks

Summer makes everyone feel motivated to get healthy. And I LOVE this sign of Summer! Pinterest starts flooding with recipes, restaurants make new Summer-style salads, and JuiceBars become your best friend.

3. Everyone Loves Country Music

If you have loved ones in your life who hate country, Summer is the time of year to get them to change their mind. Country music is amazing all-year round, but something about listening to it with your windows down or at a BBQ makes it even better. Even those who dislike it accept that this is our season, and it will be playing everywhere.

4. Hammocks

Again, guilty is charged! I love my hammock, and I know it's Summer when I am driving by and see Hammocks on almost every tree I see! Seeing a hammock swinging in my neighborhood is how I know Summer is here.

5. Pink Drink from Starbucks

Ah yes, the Pink Drink. Instagram and Snapchat stories are flooded with Pink Drink during Summer. It is arguably the most obvious way to tell Summer is in session. If you haven't had it and want to try it, it is an iced Strawberry Acai refresher with your choice of milk added. It's pretty and it screams Summertime!

6. High School Musical 2 Comes to Netflix

Sometimes Netflix removes movies for a few months and brings them back later on, and it seems like HSM2 always comes back during the same time every year. If you're uncultured (or over the current age of 25) you should know the sequel to the very popular movie takes place in the summer. When I am scrolling through Netflix and I see that is back- I know summer is in full swing.

7. Bikini Instagrams with Unrelated Captions

Another tell-tale sign of summer is seeing countless bikini instagrams with a super random caption. If your Insta feed is lacking this, it isn't summer yet.

8. Bachelorette Tweets

I am a huge and longtime fan of the Bachelor/Bachelorette, and even Bach in Paradise! But I know Summer has come back when I start to see the #thebachelorette tweets. Nothing speaks summer better than Chris Harrison announcing the final rose to the guys!

If you aren't already on the bandwagon for these trends, try one out this summer!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
