8 Essential Items To Bring to the Beach This Summer
Christina Marie Shehata

Just some essential items for your ideal beach days this summer

1. Not one, but two towels

Let's face it, when you get out of the ocean you don't look like a VS model in a magazine with your eyes wide open and hair perfectly slicked back. Instead, after you come out of the ocean you may have just got knocked out by a wave so your hair is disheveled and your eyes may be burning from the salt water. So when you bring two towels to the Beach you have a towel to dry off and a towel to use as a pillow.

2. A Sheet

Probably the easiest material to get sand off of because it's light and sand cannot get ingrained in it. Also, a cute sheet calls for a cute laying down beach picture...because pics or the beach didn't happen.

3. Hand Wipes

Nothing worse than the feeling of dryness on the palms of your hands from the salt water. Maybe I'm the only one, who knows, but the hand wipes come in handy for me even after applying sunblock too.

4. Sunblock


Ya really just want to prevent skin cancer as much as possible. A bad burn will also make you extremely miserable. Also, prevent the wrinkles!!! I'm preaching to the choir here. 10/10 recommend Neutrogenia spray mist.

5. Floppy Hat

Well, because they're cute, okay?

6. A speaker

Bring a waterproof blue tooth speaker to play your favorite music while soaking up the sun.

7. Chapstick with SPF

Sun burned lips....NO THANK YOU. Sun Bum, 10/10 recommend.

8. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, A WAWA sub

If you live in a state that has Wawa, like Jersey, you may agree that a beach day accompanied by a Wawa sub is a good beach day.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
