The Top 10 Ways to Know It's Summer

Ah, summer, that magical time we wait all year for. A time when "No shoes, no shirt, no service" ceases to be enforced and hair straighteners are pushed aside until fall. Though the end of spring semester may seem like the beginning of summer vacation, the truth is that you can't officially call it summer until these ten things start happening to you regularly.

1. The clothing choices made by the customers of Walmart.

Did you look in the mirror before leaving home?

2. Instant sweat when you walk outside.

Does anybody have a towel I could borrow?

3. Constantly hearing the phrase, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity".

It's not the heat OR the humidity that's making me mad, it's you.

4. Not being able to find a parking spot (or lounge chair) at your neighborhood pool.

Who are these people?

5. Children, EVERYWHERE.

Aren't you supposed to be in daycare...or something?

6. All the old people have returned from migrating south.

And the speed limit drops 10 mph.

7. Social media is flooded with vacation pictures.

What color scheme should white families across America wear this year on the beach?

8. Getting a tan line and realizing how pale you were all winter.

Bonus points if you have a summer foundation and a winter foundation.

9. Shoes that aren't sandals are nowhere in sight.

Unfortunately, this also means you're forced to see really weird and ugly feet wherever you go.

10. Everyone who goes to camp wants you to send them letters.

Getting something in the mail that isn't a bill is so exciting!!

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.

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.
