Ready to hit the mall for summer shopping? These ten items are bound to prepare you for the best summer ever.

1. Hair scarf

Why not buy one to match every single outfit? These ribbons are the perfect way to spice up an outfit or add some personality to a look. Once you buy one, you're bound to collect a few!

2. Fun glasses

Whether it be on Amazon, from Forever 21, or even 5Below, pick up a pair of fun sunnies and throw them in your beach bag. Sunglasses are essential for those hot summer days and with the latest frames and styles, you're bound to find a few pairs you like!

3. Telephone cord hair ties

https://www.google.com/search?q=telephone+cord+hai...:

Yes. Telephone cord hair ties are a MUST. They're waterproof, colorful, and very stretchy. For my friends who love scrunchies but can't wear them in the ocean, these will be perfectly comfortable for your hair.

4. Reusable water bottle

SAVE THE EARTH. Prevent more trash from piling on the beach and make an effort to bring a reusable water bottle with you. Super important to stay hydrated under the sun, too!

5. Fanny pack

https://www.amazon.com/Kayhoma-Stripe-Festival-Vin...

A perfect way to consolidate space for your money, phone, sunglasses, and a small sunscreen! A fanny pack is especially great for people who don't want to bring a big beach bag to the beach.

6. Kimonos

Even better than a cover-up: a kimono. Super comfy, and lots of different patterns and colors are available. Kimonos are the perfect overlay for a bathing suit if you're interested in leaving the beach for dinner on the boardwalk, or even for a leisurely walk.

7. Waterproof speaker

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-WONDERBOOM-Wa...

Not a regular speaker, a waterproof speaker. There is nothing worse than sitting far away from the water JUST so your speaker doesn't get splashed. Save your worries, and get a waterproof speaker so you can jam all you want, wherever you want.

8. Overalls

https://www.pacsun.com/pacsun/top-blue-overall-shorts-0829103680325.html?dwvar_0829103680325_color=349&cgid=womens-overalls#start=5

Not a want but a need. Overalls are back! Like a kimono, another cute overlay for a bathing suit.

9. Beach blanket

https://www.amazon.com/Loneflash-Tapestry-Flowers-...

Better than a towel, and prettier, too! The perfect spot for some pictures, and a big enough space for tanning and enjoying the sunshine.

10. A bathing suit that makes YOU happy

Forget what the media says is trending. Your body is your body! Wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy so you can enjoy your experience. Love your body and how it allows you to enjoy the sunshine!

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.

Student Life

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.

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.

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.
