6 Signs You Are Ready For Summer

Looking for that sunny and 74.

6 Signs You Are Ready For Summer
The Verge

The time has come: the summer blues. It is just as blue as you wish the sky was, but you know, spring brings a lot of rain. You go on spring break, either go somewhere or just relax, and you realize how great it is to not have a care in the world in 75 degree whether. Going back to reality sucks. The end of the semester seems so far away, and you do not even want to think about finals. Summer is coming, we are all ready for it and this is how you know.

1. Motivation


There is none. No motivation for homework. No motivation to go to class. No motivation to read any of the posts that are blowing up your newsfeeds. Let's be real, you have no motivation to do anything but feel the warmth of summer.

2. Clothing

It may not even be warm enough outside, it won't stop you from wearing a tank top, sandals or shorts. Sixty degrees? Bet your ass, I'm going to wear my Birks all day in the cold. And do not forget — Suns out, guns out.

3. Pale Skin

When you actually put on those shorts or tank and you realize your skin hasn't touched the sun in months. Step out into the sun, and your legs reflect the sunlight and blind you. It happens. Or you realize that your legs are as dry as a desert. Lotion (self-tanning lotion) is slowly becoming your best friend.

4. Hometown Friends

Summer break means you get to go back home and see your friends. You've been so busy this semester that neither you or your friends have been able to go home at the same time and see each other. But now you have two months to catch up and act like nothing has ever changed.

5. Early Vacation Planning

You and all your friends are so excited you have planned multiple road trips. Your group chat is blowing up with enthusiasm with unrealistic trips to the beach. Or just planning on visiting your friend's hometowns and invading their home.

6. Summer Reminiscing

As hard as you try your mind keeps wandering off to bonfires, star gazing, late nights and maybe possibly a summer fling. So much can happen over the summer. Just make the most of it, do all that you can, and just do you, fam.

All summer 16, playing dirty not clean.

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.
