10 Summer Problems Every Girl Knows

If everyone feels the same way I feel, they can't wait for the weather to get hot and the summer to really start. And with the first day of the season on Monday, I'm sure everyone is eagerly holding onto their bathing suits and beach bags just waiting for the temperature to rise above 80. But don't forget, ladies: with summer comes fun, but also a lot of annoyances.

1. Shaving your legs every day


This is a big one. Usually during the cold months of winter, we don't mind if our legs get a little stubbly (or worse). But shorts, dresses and bathing suits call for super-smooth legs 24-7, which means a big-time commitment to your razor.

2. Finding a bikini that can handle the ocean


Not only do our bathing suits have to be in style and super cute, but you have to know which is right for your body. The strong, crashing waves of the ocean do not give a rat's ass if you suddenly pop up with your tits free for all beach goers to see or your bottoms floating beside you. The search for the right bikini can sometimes me more difficult than the search for the right man.

3. Sun. Burn.


Enough said.

4. Long Hair


Everyone wants long, beachy-waves mermaid hair for the summer. Unfortunately, the maintenance of it is not so easy. Humidity is especially tough on long hair; don't maintain that and you'll end up looking like Mia Thermopolis (before the makeover.) And in the blazing hot heat it feels like a wool blanket is draped over your back. Definitely not comfy.

5. Make up

Summer is definitely a time for fun parties, BBQs, and events that usually take place outside. Although we always wanna look our best and super cute for these get-togethers, heat + make up=clown face. And swimming with make up on? You might as well just show up to the party with your red nose and floppy shoes on.

6. Periods


As much of a damper that periods are, they're even worse in the summer. You can say goodbye to your bikini for five days and watch everyone else swim or go to the beach. You can't just curl up in bed in your favorite pajamas watching Netflix with the blazingly gorgeous sunshine mocking you through your window. All your cute little dresses and skirts don't look nearly as pretty with period bloat. Ugh.

7. Boob sweat

I don't care if you're busty galore or a full-time member of the itty bitty titty committee: boob sweat is inevitable, uncomfortable and disgusting.

8. Wearing skirt/dresses on breezy days

On a hot summer day, a nice cool breeze is always appreciated. Except when it blows up your skirt/dress, exposing your frilly panties to the whole world. Those days where the heat barely reaches 75 and a constant summer breeze blows by are definitely amazing. Just remember to wear shorts.

9. When your butt creeps out of your shorts

Both denim and comfy shorts are culprits of this. Especially with high waist being so popular, your butt is just barely covered on a normal basis. Bend down even the smallest amount, and it's game over. All girls have mastered the pull-down-the-front-and-back-of-my-shorts-as-I walk move to try and save their tushes from popping out.

10. The feeling of sitting in shorts

They squeeze your thighs and stomach. You try to find a comfy position, but it's impossible. You stick to your chair and have to awkwardly peel yourself off of it when you stand up. And you walk around the rest of the day with those weird red lines on the back of your thighs. Not cute.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
