6 Reasons Beach Life Is Best Life

Beaches are the best places over summer.

One of my favorite summer activities is going to the beach. Not only is there so much you can do it is also free and to me it never gets boring.

1. The breeze

When it is about 94 degrees outside, you tend to need to find ways to cool down. Laying on the beach with the breeze coming off the water is one of the absolute best ways to do so.

2. Beach games

Between volleyball or frisbee or that weird trampoline ball game that I still don't understand, you can definitely find something to fill time in the sand besides tanning. I personally love to play a game of volleyball. I also usually end up covered in sand because I will dive for the ball even if it is hella out of my reach.

3. People watching

If you are ever bored the beach is the perfect place to go to people watch. You see every type of person there and how they all interact with each other. Plus watching the random drunk people try to play that trampoline game is really funny because they get really into it but have 0 depth perception and end up looking like a flailing monkey.

4. Photo opportunities

I personally love taking pictures out in nature. My best friend is the same way so when we go to the beach you best believe we are taking pics. Even when Lake Michigan is less than 50 degrees we will stand in the water facing the sunset.

5. Dogs

Bradford beach in Milwaukee allows pets on the beach. This means that if want to see a doggo playing in the water and just being all around adorable you can. My best guy friend knows the exact pitch of girlish squeak I make whenever I see a dog and has even started pointing them out to me.

6. Stargazing at night

Going to the beach at night can be amazing on clear nights. When the beach is completely clear and you either have your music or your friends. Laying in the sand with the waves crashing against the shore and the moon being the only other light in the sky. Those nights are some of the best nights ever.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
