Summer has officially started and cars are beginning to line up at all the local beaches. Everyone is flocking to the beaches to soak in all that the summer weather has to offer. Whether you are a self proclaimed "beach bum" or new to the whole idea of going to the beach these are the things that you must have in your beach bag:

1. Beach Towel

This is obvious. Whether for the purpose of drying off after a dip in the ocean or to lay out on, the towel is must.

2. Sunglasses

There is nothing worse than being blinded by the sun and constantly having to squint, so a trendy pair of sunglasses are necessary and fashionable.

3. Sunscreen

Whether you look like a bronze goddess or a lobster after a day at the beach, sunscreen is a must have to avoid painful burns and peels.

4. ChapStick

While you might think you are covered with sunscreen, ChapStick Sun Defense is huge for protecting against sunburnt lips and sun blisters.

5. Water Bottle

A water bottle that will keep your water cool all day long is a must have in order to stay hydrated in the hot sun!

6. Baseball Hat

Sometimes your face has gotten enough sun for the day so a baseball hat is great to further protect your face from the sun.

7. Beach Cover-up

A cute beach cover-up is great to throw on when leaving the beach especially if you have to go somewhere after!

8. Flipflops

A comfortable and simple pair of flipflops are great to leave the beach in.

9. Book

A beach day is the perfect opportunity to read a great book!

10. Speaker

There's nothing better than listening to some of your favorite songs on the beach!

11. Hairbrush


Most people don't think to bring one, but a hairbrush is great to bring so you are able to brush out your wet or wind blow hair.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
