Nothing says sweet summertime like a trip to the beach. The ocean air blowing through your hair and the sand in between your toes. The beach is the perfect getaway for the hot summer months of May-August and most of us try to make an escape somewhere at lease once during the summer.

While you're at the beach there is a lot to see and do. You can swim, snorkel, parasail and my personal favorite -- people watch. The people you see at the beach range from all different walks of life and you can't help but to giggle or make googley eyes at some people you see.

While thinking about the beach and my recent trip, my family and I began listing off some of the most annoying things that people do at the beach.

1. People who wear sneakers.

Just no.

2. People who feed the seagulls.

Please don't; they'll never leave.

3. Parents who let their kids cry and cry and cry.

Someone needs a nap.

4. People who take way too many pictures of themselves, each other, the beach, etc.

The beach isn't your personal backdrop.

5. People who litter.

Please, for the love of God, clean up after yourselves.

6. People who shake out their towels and get sand all over you.

Yes, I wanted sand in my eye -- thank you.

7. People who set up their chairs in close proximity to you while the beach is vacant.

This area right next to me is the perfect spot for you --but so is the area 10 feet away.

8. People who have been drinking and become belligerent.

Pull yourself together.

9. People who play their music too loud.

Believe it or not, not everyone likes country music.

10. People who bring the whole grocery store with them.

Please eat everything you possibly can and then go run into the water.

11. People who set up their umbrellas and block your sun.

It's OK, I didn't want a tan, anyway.

12. People who walk in front of, or behind, you while you're taking a picture.

Thanks for being rude.

13. People who kick up the sand as they walk by.

I know I'm going to have sand everywhere, but watch it.

14. People who play beach games when the beach is crowded.

Yeah sure, go right ahead and play football.

15. People who smoke their cigarette with no concern to who's around.

Second hand smoke is great.

16. People who drink out of glass bottles.

And then their bottle breaks and there's little pieces of glass everywhere.

17. Parents who bring every possible beach or pool toy for their child.

Your child doesn't need every toy Toys R Us sells.

18. People who wear bathing suits that they shouldn't be.

Big fat no.

19. People who destroy a sandcastle before the builder has left the beach.

Heartless.

20. People who actually wear these.

I can't believe people actually buy these.

So next time you go to the beach do everyone around you a favor and don't be one of these people. Now, let's go to the beach!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
