Summer is here so it's time to enjoy it, you do only have two and a half months to make the most of it.

So making a summer bucket list on things you want to accomplish or do this summer should be something on your to-do list.

Here are some ideas you can add to your list:

1. Watch the sunrise and/or sunset at your local beach

It'll be a lovely view.

2. Spend a day at a bookstore

You'd be surprised by the amount of amazing books you still haven't read.

3. Binge-watch a TV series

Doesn't necessarily have to be GoT.... but who wouldn't want to binge-watch GoT?

4. Go to your local zoo

You'll see animals in person instead of having to look at them through Discovery or Animal Channel.

5. Go to your local aquarium

You will most likely see Dory and Nemo in person.

6. Make a list of books you've always wanted to read and read them

Remember that one book you've wanted to read all semester, but haven't had the time? Well, now you have the time to read it and many more.

7. Discover family-owned restaurants near you

You'd be surprised at how better they are than chain-food restaurants... and healthier, too.

8. Have a bonfire

This is a great way to hang out with friends.

9. Go on a hike somewhere where you can camp out

Another lovely way to hang out with friends. Or, you can do it with your family.

10. Spend the day at an amusement park

The only down-side is that you'll be exhausted by the end of the day, but you won't regret it.

11. If you live on Long Island or near LI, then spend a day at Splish Splash

You'll have a blast.

12. Plan a road trip with your friends and go through with it

You will make memories you'll never forget.

13. Spend a day in the city

Because who wouldn't want to get lost in NYC?

14. Look up recipes and try them

If you're anything like me, you'll be watching Tasty on Facebook every chance you get.

15. And last but not least...

You'll only have two months to catch up on the many months without sleep.

***

Really, just relax this summer, but also enjoy it and make the most of out of it because those two months will go by extremely fast.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Michigan State University

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
