18 Things To Do Before The Summer Is Over

1. Go to the beach at least 12,000 times.

This one is a given. Drive three hours if you have to, just get to the ocean.

2. Go to a summer concert.

Even if you don't know who the hell is playing, I promise, it'll be wicked fun.

3. Set a goal and accomplish it.

Ideally, set a realistic goal. Start small and challenge yourself more and more every time you accomplish a new goal.

4. Change your hairstyle.

Dye it, cut it, throw it in a bun, whatever.

5. Exercise

Not just to lose weight or tone down for that beach bod, but to feel healthier and happier (thanks, endorphins). Plus, you'll start to sleep better.

6. Make a bomb ass smoothie.

Fruit, fruit, yum, fruit. Or, kale. Kale is good, too.

7. Cook a meal for your family.

Maybe it'll suck, but it's the thought that counts.

8. Do things out of your comfort zone.

Maybe jumping out of a plane isn't a great place to start, but if it floats your boat, then YOLO.

9. Drink a gallon of water every day.

No, it won't make you look like a stinky jock, but your body needs clear fluids, and pumping water through your body all day will do wonders.

10. Ice cream weekly, if not daily.

It's good for the soul.

11. Go swimming in the ocean.

Sandy toes and salt water, also very good for you, your mind and your soul.

12. Tell someone random they're beautiful.

It would make your day, wouldn't it?

13. Learn something new.

Something, anything, just learn and be open-minded.

14. Go on a road trip.

Thirty minutes to somewhere you've never been does count.

15. Explore your town, city and state.

You never know what is right around the corner from you.

16. Plant some flowers.

Because even if you're allergic, who doesn't love flowers?

17. Jump on a trampoline, and then lay on it and look at the stars at night

A perfect summer evening.

18. Learn to live in the moment.

Self-explanatory.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
