This summer is all about being our best selves. It's time we feel good, look good, and live our lives for ourselves and our own happiness. We want to come back from this summer feeling refreshed, stunning, and full of love. We want to remember this summer as our happiest one yet. So how do we get to a point where we are truly glowing inside and out these next few months?

It's simple!

Here are five ways to get to thrivin' all summer long.

Surround Yourself With Your Girl Gang

It's a hot girls summer for sure, but you can't truly live it up without your people by your side. Keep in touch with the ones in your life that make you feel your greatest, your happiest, and the most "you" version of yourself- there's no point in wasting these next few months with people who don't want to see you glowing.

It's time to make a move. Whether it be on the person you've been crushing on, the job that you desperately need to pay for your summer activities, or a change to your appearance that you've been debating for awhile, it's time to take charge and take a chance. You'll be happier for it and honestly what's the worst that can happen? Just go for it! You'll be glad you did.

Embrace Your Beauty

Darlin', you're stunning. There's no question about it. Even on the days you don't feel your best, even if you're struggling to accept certain aspects of your beauty, you are still beautiful. It's time you start taking some pride in it! Show off your figure, let those freckles have a chance to shine, let your eyes captivate anyone who sees them. Draw some attention to the parts of you that you love and you'll not only feel incredibly confident, but the parts of you that you aren't too fond of won't bother you much at all anymore.

Block Him Already

You don't need his drama, girl. His wishy-washy behavior is only dragging you down, and this summer is for elevating ourselves. If he hasn't realized how great you are by now, let him regret missing out on you and all you have to offer. This is your time to thrive, not lose yourself in a guy that doesn't care. Take out that phone and block him... see, I bet you feel happier already.

Don't sit around all day and waste the summer like many of us are prone to do. Get up, get moving! Make coffee dates with friends, make day trips to the beach, go downtown and dance the night away. Sure, give yourself time to rest and relax, but don't make it a habit to sit around and do absolutely nothing all summer long. You'll feel sorry for yourself later on.

This summer is the time to be your happiest self. It's the time to feel yourself, to fall in love with who you are, and to make some memories that will stick with you forever. Make this summer count and live it up. These tips won't do you wrong.

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!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
