12 Reasons Why The 'Summer Bod' Is Overrated
Lex Olson

1. Working out is hard.

Don't worry about cramming in those last minute workouts because most of us are in the same lazy boat as you. We usually procrastinate it anyways so why stress over it?

2. Everybody's body is different.

You can't change the way you were born and all of us are shaped a little different; that's life.

3. A "summer bod" is just a societal construct.

Don't let society control the way you think of yourself.

4. Confidence makes any swimsuit hot.

Flaunt your sexiness on the beach, at the pool, or really anywhere a swimsuit is legally acceptable.

5. If you were happy with your body for the last 9 months don't let 3 change that.

As soon as summer is over everything will be back to normal. Don't worry how June, July, and August make you feel because once September rolls around you will only be missing your days off.

6. Revealing more doesn't mean that that "more" has to be less.

Reveal as much or as little as you want. Don't worry if what you're showing is up to the standards of the people around you.

7. But if it is less then flaunt that too.

8. Suns out buns out, flubs out, abs out...

Let it all hang out! Not literally, but flaunt what your mama gave you.

9. I like food, so I'm going to eat it and a lot of it.

Food, food, food, and food. Watermelon, burgers, snacks, I will eat it all and I'm not ashamed.

10. You can't easily change the way your metabolism works.

Some of us have slower metabolisms than others and that isn't something we can change.

11. You can just wear sunglasses and block the haters.

Honestly, this could replace every other number on this list because haters gonna hate, but it's our job to ignore it and look cute anyways.

12. Don't waste time obsessing over your body, you're beautiful.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
