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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
