9 Signs You Might Be Failing At Summer

Summer is flying by!

Lazy Summer

July is almost over!? Can you believe how fast summer has gone? Take out that summer to do list and check it twice? Have you even checked one thing off of it? No? Well here are some signs that you are definitely doing summer wrong:

1. You still look like a ghost.

Let's be honest. you said you would go outside and work on your tan, but you really haven't left your house.

2. Netflix and Chill is your "Summer Lovin'."

The only relationship in your life that won't let you down (unless you don't pay the monthly fee).

3. You already started your back to school shopping.

I know Target has all of the best stuff when it comes to back to school, but should you really be even thinking about that right now?

4. You haven't even started your summer bucket list.

We all know you wrote one, but let's be honest, your lazy ass hasn't even started it. (That "Summer Lovin'" must be getting in the way).

5. The only joy you have had is when the delivery man comes.

Joy does come in many forms, and let's be honest, food is the best joy there is. Heck they shouldn't be called the delivery man, they should be called the Joy man.

6. You haven't started that Summer workout.

Ya, we all know you bought that gym membership and still haven't used it. Fat Amy has become your spirit animal, and let's be honest, you do Horizontal Running while watching Netflix and tell people you worked out.

7. The only time you've been out has been with your parents.

I mean who doesn't love free alcohol? And your parents are the best way to get it, but if the only social interaction you've had is them, you might need to call your friends.

8. The only time you've been skinny dipping was when you took a bath.

We all know that every summer RomCom ends in skinny dipping in the lake, but we all know that the only skinny dipping you've done is the bath.

9. You haven't gotten drunk with that crazy family member yet.

Everyone knows that they have one person in the family who is crazy. For most, it's your mom's brother (your uncle), and if you haven't gotten plastered with them yet at one of your many family get togethers, you should probably get on that.

Summer is not over yet, though! So make the rest of summer a kick butt one while we still have time left.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1211

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
