5 Summer Essentials

Well it is officially summer down here in the First State...that's Delaware for those of you who don't know!! As we kicked off MDW at the pool and then the beach I'd say I have 5 summer essentials that I will ALWAYS have with me. Check them out down below!!

1. SUNSCREEN

Now I know this is pretty obvious but I got a really bad spotty sunburn this weekend and I did put screen on!! It is important to always have sunscreen on especially your face/lips. Nothing is worse than burning your lips. So sunscreen is KEY!

2. Rainbow Sandals

THE BEST sandals I have ever bought!! I have the regular thick band and the small band. They not only look great, but once they're broken in they are extremely comfortable. They dry in seconds and last a very long time. Definitely a summer 2916 MUST HAVE.

3. Ray Bans

Now I know they are really expensive for a pair of sunglasses BUT I buy mine off amazon and get great deals. Yes, they are real Ray Bans not knock offs. I have four pairs and LOVE every one. Whether you're at the pool, the beach or walking around town, Ray Bans are the way to go.

4. Lifeproof Case

Best case I have ever purchased. I no longer have to be worried about having my phone out when it is raining or when I am holding a cold coffee the dew on it ruining my phone. I am always dropping my phone and with the lifeproof case I know it will be safe. Plus since it is water proof its great for a day at the beach or pool!!

5. Good Music

Nothing completes an awesome day out like some good music to jam to! At a bbq, you HAVE to have music, that is what completes the day! Whether you are driving around in the car with friends or taking a walk around the development, good music will be sure to make you feel happy!

Enjoy summer 2016 people, I know I will!!!!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
